For some reason I've become interested in trying PSK31 with my
K2/10. Receive works well, but haven't tried transmitting yet
because my laptop has only USB connectors. Before buying an
interface, would appreciate knowing whether others have had success
with QRP level PSK31. Which interfaces play well with the K2?

Hi Curt
PSK31 has become my mode of preference. I operate QRP .... 1.5w idle
es abt 3-4 w peak. I originally operated with a home brew 100w
linear (tube type) with about 20w peak output ... but the amp took
up most of the desk space so I de-commissioned it almost 2 years ago
with the intention of getting a modern solid state amp. In the
meantime i continued to operate barefoot (QRP). I hardly noticed a
difference. I still worked some DX and anyone I called came back to
me. Calling CQ almost always brings a response. My antenna
arrangement consists of 2 dipoles (20 & 15) at the top of my 50ft
tower ..... nothing extraordinary. The USB version of SignaLink
does and excellent job as an interface.
If I had a less efficient antenna system I might go for a 100w
linear. As it is QRP works wonderfully and I have a nice clean
operating desk hi hi.
