[Elecraft] K2 and N1MM+

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

I don't think your rig has that feature Ted.

 

Buy a Winkeyer or a Mortty.

p.s.-there's a fantastic N1MMLoggerPlus group on groups.io

 

I need advice for getting N1MM+ to play well with a K2.  I have tried it

with two different K2 rigs:  a K2 with a KIO2, and a different K2-100 with

the built in IO.  Same problem.  The K2 Port parameter is set to ON and N1MM

tracks the RX frequency, so I know the rig and the computer are

communicating.  But a keyboard command from N1MM to the rig returns the

error message --  "Unable to send this CW because there is no CW Port set in

Config."

 

But the CW box in the N1MM configuration screen IS checked, and "set," and

config is: 4800 N 8 1 DTR and RTS Always On (and every other possible

combination thereof); Radio on Nr 1, and PTT via radio command mode CW.  I

have also tried every possible permutation of KIO2 and KUSB cables, on both

rigs, in case of a badness there.  No change.  Same problem every time. 

 

I know that when using my K3 with N1MM it's necessary to have the K3's menu

settings for DTR and RTS set properly to CW to match the settings in N1MM .

. . but I have found no such option in the K2 menus.  I have also read that

it can be done using a W1EL keyer, but having outboard dongles sort of

defeats my purpose.

 

Can it be done with just the K2/KIO2, a KUSB cable, and an ordinary

computer?

 

Thanks, anyone.
