S/N 4751 with KSB2 is now on the air - the first contact was a TI8 from Florida with great audio reports using the MD2 Heil mike (i.e., all jumpers and the 5.6K ohm resistor are in place on the front panel). All subsequent signal reports have been great as well - not bad for 12 watts into an 80 meter loop fed with ladderline through a tuner.
But, I want to use the K2 with my old, original Rigblaster that I bought for my ICOM 706MIIG some years ago. This Rigblaster has RJ45 connectors on the front and back. Since the MD2 mike setup is almost identical tothe 8 pin Kenwood mike family, I set the jumpers this morniing to the Kenwood family of mikes. I then connected modular plug pin 1 to mike connector pin 1 (Mike input), modular connector pin 2 to mike connector pin 2 (PTT), and pins 7 and 8 to pins 7 and 8 (Ground lines). Digipan 1.6D was used and is normally reliable, but this time, the PTT did not key and the resultant transmitter output was 0. So, does anyone on the reflector know how to wire up this older (5 years) Rigblaster? Where did I go wrong? 73 and Thanks, Les WA3SGZ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
