Re: [Elecraft] [EXTERNAL] Re: ELECRAFT K2. Installing KBT2 with KIO2 in place
Henry, Nice solution, but it considers only a connection to a PC. If that is all you want, that is fine. The KIO2 AUX I/O connector also contains internal K2 signals that are used for an externally mounted KPA100/KAT100 as well as the XVseries transverters. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/12/2019 10:50 AM, Harry Yingst via Elecraft wrote: On my K2 I installed a USB Mini-B Female 5V DB9 interface in place of KIO2 Part # DB9-USB-D5-F It's powered by the computer not the K2 so it draws no power from the K2 On Tuesday, March 12, 2019, 10:10:05 AM EDT, Pawlak, Daniel L wrote: I just built the KIO2 and installed it with my KBT2 and KAT2 already in place.

Yes that is the downside to it, so something to consider for those who may want that option.
