I plan to use one of N3FJP's logging programs in conjunction with my K2 with the I/O option installed. I will be using the custom serial cable that was constructed along with the I/O option. I want to be able to key the rig with my laptop PC (use the message buffers in the software) and either external paddles (using the internal keyer) or my paddle using my Super CMOS external keyer.
1) Can I send the message buffers (key the rig) using ONLY the custom serial cable (and no separate cable to the key input)? 2) If I also use my paddle (and the internal keyer) or my paddles and external keyer, will I need to construct the "Y" interface cable in the Elecraft manual? 3) If I need to construct the "Y" adapter, what connections / active devices are required? 4) What keyer input selection should be used on the K2 - hand, paddle or auto-detect? I could find out the answers to the above questions by experimentation but I'm sure that some of you have already "been there, done that." *** PLEASE - NO recommendations of other logging / control programs.*** Derek, WF4I _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
