I think there is another way to look at this. N1MM Logger is the
center point of what you do in the contest. You should make changes
in N1MM Logger, and have it change the radio instead of doing the
same thing on the radio. That way Logger is always under control. The
exception to this is changing frequency within a band, where Logger
simply cannot do the QSY fast enough (for my taste). N1MM _can_ do
the QSY properly, but I find it to be a bit slow.
I don't remember if just clicking in the VFO B window will cause the
radio to select the B VFO, but there is a command to do so which also
changes focus to that window and changes the VFO selection
simultaneously.
More and more, the computer is where the contest is, not the radio!

When I tested this, I activated VFO B by just switching the VFOs on
the K2.
That activated the VFO B bandmap, and I concluded that VFO B was the
"active" (my term) N1MM VFO. But after reading Ken's post below, and
playing with the Logger some more, I realize that even though the
VFO B
bandmap is activated by switching to that VFO on the K2, the VFO A
data
entry window still has the focus and consequently the log entry
reflects VFO
A. Apparently one must click on the VFO B data entry window to
make VFO B
"active", no matter which VFO is selected on the K2. This is a little
confusing because the K2 will be transmitting on whatever VFO it
has active,
but maybe this is the desired behaviour for some reason??? My
appologies
for any confusion I may have created.

Hi Mark:
I'm no expert on N1MM logger but I have used it with the K2.
I just tried it using v6.10.10, but I know this has worked
before with earlier versions. When you use both VFO A and VFO
B, you need to have 2 data entry windows open, one for A and
one for B. There are key shortcuts to switch back and forth
between A and B but if you simply click in the bandmap for
VFO B, the focus for everything switches to the VFO B entry
window and anything entered there will be entered correctly
into the log. If you then click on the bandmap for VFO A,
everything shifts back to the entry window for VFO A and the
data will be logged correctly with VFO A data. If you have
ONLY the entry window for VFO A open and use that for data
entry while using VFO B, then only VFO A data will be entered
into the log. This has worked for me using both "real" serial
ports as well as the "USB-to-serial" connections.
I haven't read the help manual/file lately (I must before
next weekend), but it used to be explained fairly well in there.
The only problem I have had with N1MM and using both VFOs is
with operating split and getting the software to send on A
while listening on B and vice versa.
Good luck!
