W2KJ de KX2CW — I have a SideKar Plus, and it works exactly as advertised (which is to say: great)! The SideKar and KX2 talk to each other via 38,400 Baud RS232, and the SideKar effectively functions as a memory keyer—sans paddle input and speed control, as there is no need with the Elecraft radios because of the way the Elecraft internal keyer works: it creates text to send up the RS232, and the KX2 internal keyer speed control is a primary function knob on the front panel
The QRPworks SideKar Plus has its quirks, but I still find it well worth it and enjoyable and easy to use, and it really is plug-and-play. Also, the [Mac version of the] SideKar Utility was easy to install and use. I think of it as a memory keyer which makes the most of the KX line’s own already excellent onboard capability
