Elecraft K2 with KRC2 and N4PY software problem

Peter Bacon
I am using the N4PY software with my K2 and KRC2ACC Band Decoder.  It does
not matter what I do to the KRC2, it is always talking to me reading out the
K2 frequency and mode in CW continuously.  This is even with the KRC2 set to
verbose mode 1.  If I use the K2 and KRC2 combination with DX4WIN logging
software then I get blissful silence from the KRC2.  The KRC2 is running ver
1.3 software.

Is anyone else using this combination and found similar problems?

RE: Elecraft K2 with KRC2 and N4PY software problem

Peter,

I had the same problem when I first built a KRC2ACC.  The problem is that
the N4PY program polls the K2 frequently, and the K2 obediently returns the
frequency, the KRC2ACC is listening to the same data stream and it also
obeys by sounding off the frequency that was sent to it.  Other programs
such as HRD do not do constant polling like that.

I know of no cures except convincing Carl to use another polling method, or
if you do not need the "ACC" part of the KRC2ACC, download the KRC2 firmware
from the Elecraft site and load it - the KRC2 will properly do the band
decoding and switching of the outputs, but will not produce the sounds
associated with the ACC part - that is intended primarily as an aid for
sight-impared persons, so I doubt if the Elecraft folks would be willing to
make a change in the functioning.

73,
