Alright, I got the choke installed and I now get voltage out to the pins. I still cannot connect with my laptop, but I'm going to bring the K2 into work tommorrow. The voltages I get on J1 are as follows:
Pin 1: 0 Pin 2: -9.96 or 13.68 (It changes as I move the dial or change anything on the K2) Pin 3: .01 Pin 4: 5.59 Pin 5: 0 Pin 6: 5.71 Pin 7: 0.01 Pin 8: 14.24 Pin 9: 8.07 I had a 14V Supply in the K2 and had nothing connected to the J1. I can still hear the oscillation at 16.292 mhz. I did install the jumper between pins 7 and 8 on the PC side of the serial connector if that makes any difference. Do I have to change anything on the computer for that? I see this choice was optional..
