Kevin,

It is your K2,so the choice is yours. I prefer using the spare mic jack pin myself, but then I don't change interfaces often and when I do it is one that I built, so I can handle that sort of thing in the interface.

A suggestion for using just any interface - when that need comes, you can always use the headphone jack output even it is not fixed level.

There is room in the top cover transverter holes, the K60XV holes can be used if not already occupied (if you have an older K2 without those holes, drill one using the template in the K60XV instructions). There is also (barely) room on the rear panel near the key jack for an RCA jack or 2.5mm phone jack. A 2.5 mm phone jack can also be made to fit above the coaxial power jack if one is careful.

73,

Hello all,

I've got the fixed level board all soldered up for my K2/100 and now I've got a question.
What to do with the output?
Dedicated jack which means drilling the case or unused pin on the mic jack?
I'm kinda leaning toward the mic jack as it eliminates and audio cable to my Signalink USB interface, but, using the jack means I can use the K2 with anybody's interface in a pinch.

What do you think?
