John, Depends on the program. Most use serial port keying; works even if you are using a USB-serial converter which I am doing right now. For example, MixW lets you select either DTR or RTS for PTT or CW, but some programs use one for CW and one for DTR but not both for both.. I don't use

I am wondering why these programs like Logger32 and others do not implement the same scheme for the K2 as used in K24U. There is no external hardware (i.e. transistors etc.) to "key" the K2. The K2 "KY" command implements keyboard CW with no "external" hardware needed. A single keyer trans

Hi Dan, Spectrogram 11 has extra features that are not required to align the K2 filters. There is a very useful early version of Spectrogram that was released as freeware. It will do what you need to align your K2. You can find a link to it here: http://w5big.home.comcast.net/spectrogram.htm al
