I just tried FLDIGI recently and liked it very much. I like that it is a
truly cross-platform program so that no matter what type of computer I am
using - Linux, Windows, etc.- I have a program with the same interface to
use.
I recommend the Belkin F5U409 USB to Serial adapter. I have used
Does the K3 have a port like the KIO on the K2? Are the settings to

Greetings everyone! It has been a very long time since I was on the
Elecraft list. That is mainly because my K2 has been working flawlessly for
years and I have not done any kind of tinkering with it in years, until now.
I got completely carried away this weekend with writing code in Python
Does anyone on the list have experience with using their K2 for Pactor III
operations? Any comments? What was your setup?

I also like the Tokyo Hy-Power amps. I have the HL200Bdx and it has worked
wonderfully well with my K2. Also, Nobuki San is a pleasure to work with.
These amps cost more than you typical CB type amp, like the RM Italy models,
but are worth it and are true amateur band amps with proper band
The kit that Tom has provided works very well. I used one to do the TR
switching from my K2 to a Tokyo-HyPower HL200BDX amp. I have used it on
another amp as well.

Just a note: For those who do not have a serial port available and wish to
use a USB to Serial to converter (for PTT purposes, etc.), the Belkin F5U409
model works terrifically well. It supports the entire RS232 protocol (not
all converters do) and has LINK, TX, RX indicator LEDS.

Has anyone had any luck using the AWG Packet Engine software for HF packet
with their K2? I just cannot seem to get tuned in well enough to decode
packets. Even on the OP1 filter, I am thinking that I am just to close to
the edge of the bandwidth of the filter to receive. Any ideas?

it can be used with an external AMP?

gurus have any notions on this? I did try a reset of the K2, but that did
not make a difference other than giving me an Info 201 code and resetting my
displayed frequency and mode to 7100.00c . Again any help or suggestions
appreciated. Thanks Mike for the previous suggestion.

Hey there everyone,
I wanted to be able to add an external keying line to my K2 to drive an

board for such a circuit and gave me much advice on how
I am trying to drive an external amp, 300W amp, with my base QRP K2. The issue
I am having is that during SSB mode transmissions, the amp's T/R switch often
opens and closes between the sylables of some words. Is there an adjustment I
can make in the K2 to help lessen this? Otherwise, it
To the best of my knowledge, the amp does not have an external keying line
available.
