K2 - CAT

[k6dgw]

The RS-232 CAT for my K2 has always worked well.  Getting ready for the
OK RTTY, I find that it keeps giving weird frequencies, none of which
are right.  It seems to do it about once a second.

I'm running WriteLog, the rig is set to K2, and the baud rate to AUTO,
which has always worked.  Anyone got any ideas?  If I can get this
fixed, I think I'll just leave the K2 set on RTTY ... this happens every
time I try to get it working with the laptop again.

I have 2 USB adapters, both Prolific bridges, one from Elecraft and one
from RS.  The RS one has worked in the past.

Open to any ideas.

I've never had a lot of luck with the K2 or K3 and Writelog using AUTO
for the baud rate.  When I run SO2R with two K2s or a K2 & a K3, I set
everything for 4800 baud and it works fine on the shack PC.  Same
thing with the laptops and either K2 or K3 when we're portable.
Same thing for Win-Test and N1MM.

I've seen on the Writelog reflector where they recommend using the
baud rate rather than AUTO for some radios.

I have never had luck running either the K2 or K3 with AUTO baud rate.  I'd
set the baud rate to 4800.
And I've seen on the Writelog reflector recommendations not to use AUTO
with most radios.
