[Elecraft] K2 PTT and Mode issue with DXLab and WSJT-X

[Hank]

Hey folks...
I was having the same problem as in this thread:
https://groups.io/g/DXLab/topic/94854879#msg210912
 
I have been using WSJT-X with the K2 without DXLab for some time - no issue.  After configuring WSJT-X to have DXLab control the rig (log contacts etc.), I had the same weird PTT issue as reported in the above thread.  I fixed it by changing the PTT method to RTS with a com port (I'm using the Timewave Navigator as the interface so I can have 2 com ports for the rig: one for CAT and one for PTT).  That fixed the quick PTT problem.
 
The next problem is rig mode.  Using WSJT-X alone, the Mode was set to Data/Pkt and the K2 went into the RTTY-R data mode which works great.  After combining with DXLab, the rig Mode switches to USB.  I switch it back in Commander, but as soon as the K2 transmits, the mode is returned to USB.
 
What settings am I missing?

I posted in the DXLab groups.io forum also hoping to hit as many K2 users as I could.
