I've recently been talking to Mike, WA1EYP at Callsign software about including support for the
XV-50 transverter in the K2 Ham Station Extreme control software www.callsignsoftware.com
His reply is copied (with permission) below and basically says that he would be quite happy to
include the XV-50 (and no doubt others in the range) if I could let him know of any special
commands required other than just including the new frequency range in the band database.
As I'm not a programmer I don't really know what's required so thought it would be a good idea to
post on the list to see if the experts here can offer advise and suggestions. Mike can be contacted

Original message:
With our K2 software we anticipated new bands with a band database. We
permit the construction of "custom" bands as long as the radio "physically"
supports that band. The user enters frequency range, band label (i.e. 20 m)
, and scale color. Custom bands are like normal bands but are setup by the
user.
I have not been able to get programming info on the xverters. However if
they do not require any special commands in the software other than going to
their frequency range then they can easily be added. So if you can confirm
to us whether there are any special commands that we must use to use the
transverter we would appreciate it.
If there are no special commands required, on our next release we can simply
add the 6 meter band to our band database as we did with the 5MHz band.
Our current release does not have the 6 meter band in the band database.
Band functions are blocked on frequencies outside of the band database.
Thanks
Mike
