Thanks Mike and others that answered my direct e-mail queries, Well, the problem with connecting the RJ45 Rigblaster to the K-2 has been solved, and I had several PSK and RTTY contacts to HP8 and VY5 today using the Rigblaster.
After I changed the Rigblaster jumpers for the Kenwood mike family, I traced schematics of the Rigblaster and K2 front panel (i.e., mike coneector) and convinced myself that the setup had to work. I then compared the wire colors at the modular jack of the original Rigblaster supplied RJ45 cable with the one that I grabbed out of the junk box. The wire colors of the RJ 45 junk box cable were exactly opposite of the Rigblaster cable. I was actually grounding the PTT and mike AF signal at the K2 mike connector. I quickly changed the wires at pins 1,2,7, and 8 of the K-2 mike connector, and I was on the air. "Cockpit error" strikes again!! S/N4751 is now on the air on CW, SSB, PKK and RTTY. SSTV is next. 73 and tnx agn, Les WA3SGZ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
