K3 and K2 Control Software
If you have your own K3 or K2 control software you would like to distribute we can certainly provide links to it
here. We want as many packages as possible to run with the K2, so please feel free to contact me with your information and I'll add it ASAP.
With the numbers of K3/K2 owners out there we fully expect you to quickly overtake us in your ability to come up with neat
applications!
We have written K2Remote (see below) as a basic introduction to what can be controlled on the K2 via RS-232. The authors below have extended this concept in a number of excellent ways!
K2 Voice provides
complete K2 voice feedback (frequency, mode etc.) via you PC.

K2 Remote and K2 Voice Program Downloads and Instructions
To save these files, rather than running them directly from the web site, you may need to right click on their links and then chose the "Save Link As" option for Netscape, or the "Save Target As" option from Microsoft Explorer.
When possible, we will post updates to these programs in both the full install form and the much, much smaller K2 Voice and K2 Remote .EXE files (<150KB). In most cases, once you have done a first full install, which includes all the Windows .DLL routines needed by the programs, you can download just the .EXE version of each update without all of the extra full install overhead.

If you have installed K2 Remote or K2 Voice before, have installed another Microsoft Office application or are using W2000 or XP, this engine is already installed on your system and you do not need to download it again.
