Hamlib and the K2

Hamlib and the K2

[Bob Nielsen]

Has anyone on the list used the Linux hamlib runtime library with an
Elecraft K2 transceiver?  I see that the TS-570 is supported and the K2
uses a subset of the TS-570 commands, so it should work.  I use TLF (a
Linux contesting/logging program which uses hamlib to communicate with
a transceiver).  It shouldn't be difficult to adapt the Kenwood driver
to make one more K2-specific, but if anyone has already looked into
this, I'd like to know.

Hi Bob.

Head on over to:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hamlib/

and join up on the Hamlib developer mailing list.  It's a good place to
aks questions and I know Stephane would be interested in your testing
Hamlib with your rig.

Checking out from CVS and building isn't too complicated so you can test
quite easily.
