[Elecraft] KX2 & FT8

[Neil Zampella]

Rich,

I'm using it with my K2 and it has given me no problems whatsoever.  
The only issues is that Windows will sometimes arbitrarily change the
sound card settings in WSJT-X.   That stopped when I plugged the dongle
into a powered USB hub connected to my shack laptop.
