I talked to the guys at Elecraft and it looks like the K3 command set  
is a superset of the K2 so once the protocol is published there  
should be a K2 clone driver out pretty quickly with advanced K3  
support (where possible) to follow.

The Green Heron web site says that their controllers use standard  
rotor protocols so that shouldn't be a problem. According to their  
manual...

"The protocol implemented in the RT-20 is based on the Hy-Gain DCU-1  
protocol. It
reports headings and turns to headings with the same commands  
implemented in
DCU-1. Set your software to use DCU-1 protocol and the RT-20 should  
work fine with
it. Additional commands are provided for the advanced features that  
only your RT-20
can perform."
