[Dxbase] DXbase/K2

The obvious question is:
"Is anything else running on your computer?"
And try this.
turn off rig control.
Now try to log a station from the Internet Cluster or DX Info windows.
That will give you a clue.
I find that the logging of a spot without rig control is almost instantaneous but there 
can be a lag if I have to 'jump' to a Frequency and change mode on my Yaesu FT1000MP.
You can do a crtl, alt, delete, switch to PROCESSES, and watch what is grabbing cpu 
cycles.
and curious if you use something like Writelog, does the jump seems slow also?
one item that is a long shot...what stop bit setting does the K2 interface require.
I think I read the K2 emulates a Kenwood???
Hope this gives you some clues.
