1. Bill 'LR recently wrote, in part: "I think I could prefer a menu item to select the VOX delay, and just have the mode-hold toggle the VOX on and off."
Bill is right. While handing out all 12 of my Qs for the rare NC section ;-) during the 'phone SS, I found myself wishing for exactly this functionality. Wish I could flash my PIC to do this. 2. I recently built an adapter box to allow the use of my aviation headset on my K2. The schematic in the Dec. 2003 QST shows how, but has a major error in that it shows the aviation mic jack as having the audio on the jack tip as opposed to the ring connector. The jack tip is actually for a PTT line for those headsets that have such an extension, and the ring is the mic. After I saw this error and fixed it, the adaptobox works great. It's much better than any ham-type headset I've ever used. I also now can use the K2 VOX, the performance of which now rivals any of the best JA rigs' VOX in my experience. In fact, I am so pleased with the SSB function on my K2 now that I am considering doing some of the recently discussed TX filter mods. I previously viewed the SSB function on the rig as a nice-to-have-but-who-cares feature, perhaps due to my natural preference for running a Portland ME built Vibroplex Iambic Standard as the wetware I/O. With this new level of K2 SSB operating quality now at my disposal, I might actually start working more 'phone! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
