[K2] Problem in setup for WSJT

[Phil Kane-2]

Finally got it setup properly, with thanks to all who replied.  I took
the advice to try CAT control rather than "straight" PTT, but no go.
After several rounds of trying and frustration over several days, I
finally went back to "ground zero", and traced the CAT control cable
from the rig to the serial port.  Lo and behold, even though the  Port
List saved on the computer said that it should have been on COM5, it was
in fact on COM 6.  A newbie mistake even though I've been using that
setup for 10 years!  Changing the configuration entry to COM6 everything
worked!  And I did correct the Port List.

Now to wait until they finish painting the building so I can put my
antennas back up and get back on the air. Lots to learn about the new modes.

Windows has a mind of its own.  It assigns ports as and when needed.  Once done it will keep it until something else changes.  Just remember to check if it doesn't connect in the future.
