I've been using Logic since the early 90s. Dennis only fixes what he
wants to fix. I suppose if he had a K3 to work with or knew the
involved command structure, he might find the issue simple to
resolve. He's using the Kenwood interface for the K3 and I believe he
feels the K2 is essentially the same command set as the K3.

If this going to REV happens with Logic it as easily could be caused
by another program deciding to do the same or similar function. If a
config "lock" were available, it would resolve the problem. It would
also prevent accidental going into reverse when accidentally
depressing ALT (not that that happens often but I have done it
before).
