I use the Rigblaster NoMic (no microphone) with my K2. As Kevin AC0H
said, go download the manual off the west mountain radio website
(www.westmountainradio.com). I have never had a single problem with my
Rig Blaster. I highly reccomend wiring it up for PTT instead of Vox.
It's certainly much easier to get working than Vox and it's also more
reliable. Definitely check and re-check your wiring / jumper settings.
The rig blaster has jumper settings and as you know your K2 does as
well. I had to map it out on a piece of paper on a diagram to
absolutely make sure that it was wired properly from the jumpers in the
K2 all the way to the jumpers in the rig blaster. Once you get it you
never have to worry about it again.
Since I use my rigblaster with several rigs, I actually set the jumpers
in the rig blaster to the default settings. My Rigblaster has an RJ45
connector for the rig connection. What I actually did was to make any
wiring changes in the cable itself. This way, I never have to open the
Rigblaster and mess around with jumpers if I ever want to switch
radios.. I simply make a new cable up. I have cables for everything
from my K2 to my ancient Icom 2at. To make the cable up, you can start
with a CAT5 cable and cut it in half.. you can then use each hacked off
end to attach your connector for whichever rig. For rigs with the RJ-45
Jack, I have an RJ-45 crimper and plugs - which you can pick up at any
home depot or Lan/Networking supply catalog.

Hi Ron.
I've got that same setup and it works great.
Get to the West Mountain website and download a Rigblaster plus manual.
You need that to double check the jumper settings inside the rigblaster
and the cabling.
If setup properly you don't need to use VOX to transmit as the
rigblaster will kick over the PTT through the mic cable.
Looking at the online Rigblaster plus manual and check page 8 for the
Alinco, Kenwood, SGC, Elecraft jumper setup.
Good luck.
