David et al: Here is a repost of some info you may find useful. PIEngineering ( http://xkeys.com/xkeys.php ) offers a line of computer accessories, some of which are interesting to radio operation. Tom, K8TB got me interested in developing background application software that permits the K2 or K3 owner to assign and access one or more functions for each XKeys button. Requirements o The only XKeys devices supported are USB models with buttons and designated MWII by PIEngineering. o Windows XP (tested with SP3) o The software is EZSetKeys and will install both .NET Framework 3.5 and SQL Server Express if not already present on your station computer o Virtual port software such as Eterlogic VSPE or LP-Bridge if you need to share the K2/K3 serial port with other apps If you have one of these devices or are thinking about getting one and are interested in joining Tom and myself evaluating the new software, contact me off of the reflector (use email address mike at mclendon dot info) to obtain pre-release software download information. Tested with virtual port software so port sharing works fine. I do not plan to charge any license fees for this application. 73 - Mike, KE4U

I think I must have missed any original post. I found http://www.piengineering.com/xkeys/xkpro.php which might be the keypad, but nothing about the interface or software.
