KX2 and Omnirig ...

Has anybody had any experience with coming up with an omnirig ini file for
the KX2 ? Failing that, any pointers to how to come up with a new file ?
I've read the Afreet readme files, but am still no wiser as to how to go
about this.

Thanks !!

Re: KX2 and Omnirig ...

I did that some time ago for my IC-R70, with a custom 4 bit to serial
interface I built, for use with Faros.

It's not difficult, you just have to learn one thing at a time.

An extra serial port (or comOcom) and dumb terminal, so you can
"pretend" to be a radio, and see what OmniRig sends, and what it does
when you send stuff back to it, is very useful.

If there is a K3/KX3 file (I don't know if there is, it's been a while)
look at that for examples, in conjunction with the relevant manuals.

In reply to this post by john mcleod

According to the Elecraft Programmer's Reference
<http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3S&K3&KX3&KX2%20Pgmrs%20Ref,%20G1.pdf>,
"The KX3 and KX2 accept all K3
commands, though some have no functional effect on the KX3/KX2 (*)".

So, in OmniRig, select radio type Elecraft K3, and everything supported by
OmniRig should work fine on the KX3.

Try the free OmniRig client <http://dxatlas.com/OmniRig/Files/Client.zip>
to test all the supported functions. See also the OmniRig Tester's Guide
<http://dxatlas.com/omnirig/BetaTest.txt>.
