Re: Saving K2 configuration

Nigel-2-3
Hi John, Mike Markowski AB3AP wrote a neat program back in 2007 which reads
the configuration of the K2, see

http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/elecraft/

It takes a few steps to get it installed as it run under java, so follow the
instructions carefully.    If you are running under windows the steps to
copy the "rxtxSerial.dll" and "RXTXcomm.jar" files are critical.   Also if
you get a Java update you have to re-copy these files to the updated
version.

With XP I needed to run the "Prams.bat" file to get it to go.    I found
that the output data was only displayed on the screen so after emailing
with Mike he suggested that  the contents of Params.bat be changed to

set CLASSPATH=.java Params COM4 >K2params.txt
K2params.txt

This wrote the parameters to a text file which was stored in the same
directory as Params.bat.
Be sure to change the Com port number in the Params.bat file to that which
has the serial connection to the K2 and to read BFO settings you have to
have the frequency counter probe connected.
Hope this helps, 73 Nigel ZL2DF
