W3FPR continued: True, and thanks for the clarification. My CW PTT for the K2 does not address a situation where the K2 is keyed by its internal commands - it only works with hardwired inputs to the K2 key jack. How many folks using or contemplating SO2R are using the KY commands for keying?

Don replied (and I trust will not mind my keeping it on the list, as my intention is more than helping him): Thanks for your analysis. One point though worthy of mentioning - the K2 will not produce RF until keying takes place, so my solution does the job quite nicely by simply inhibiting the

Its an obvious direction that 2 K2s (KK4?) would be a great, desktop-friendly SO2R setup. Anyone with recommendations on the best way to do this (or to simulate the 2 RX/1TX capability of the 7800, Orion, FTDX9000)? ___ Elecraft mailing list Post

N1MM logger has a nice SO2R implementation for 2 radios. It supports 7800, Orion and K2 via Kenwood protocol. It's also free if you want to try it. Larry N8LP Neal Campbell and Sarah Ferrell wrote: Its an obvious direction that 2 K2s (KK4?) would be a great, desktop-friendly SO2R setup.

In CT, CTWin, NA contesting programs the PTT delay is used to immediately key the radio (and amp, if used), delay the keying from the program for a user defined time, send the CW from the PC buffer and quickly drop the PTT. PTT delay will not work with the K2 because it is common to the dit

My solution for the K2 PTT problem in CW with CT and the Top Ten DX Doubler: unplug the mic connectors! It's worked fine for 4 years so far. On the other hand I have only operated SO2R in CW contests at QRP and 100 watt levels so far (no external amps). IARU and other mixed-mode contests would

Thanks Ed for pointing out the ambiguity: I meant the K2 mic connectors. The TTDXD interface connectors also carry headphone audio and keying signals to the tranceivers. 73 Gary, N7IR At 04:26 PM 2/2/05 -0500, you wrote: gary: Unplug which mike connectors - in K2 or ten ten dx doubler Ed,
