To: Ken Claerbout <kenk4zw@gmail.com>
Ken,
To get that I need to make the flexradio emulate a Kenwood Radio which
would be the T-2000. They do have a Flexradio Driver. But they say it is
for the 6000 series. Now, whether or not that works with the 8000 series
I'm not sure. And to be honest nobody has been able to answer that question
for me as of yet. I have read directions on using a Elecraft K3 with 2
VFO's and having it work with the Software. But it seems that nobody has
come up with a guide that shows pictures on how to do this. I am trying to
be patient with Writelog to give them a chance. And if worse comes to
worse, I still have N1MM that I can fall back on. Thanks!
