Note: MK2R and MK2R+ï¿½ are hardware products - the level of functionality is determined by the features offered by the application software and transceivers with which it is used. MK2R and MK2R+ "fully supports" a radio when microHAM releases a cable set designed to interface MK2R to the specific input/output requirements of the supported transceiver. Due to differences in capabilities among transceivers, the support software (microHAM USB Device Router) and/or MK2R may not be able to implement every available feature with for all radios or third party applications.
