Bluetooth Connection to K2

n5ib
I was playing with Bluetooth serial links for another project and, just
on a whim, cobbled up a MAX232A with an HC-06 Bluetooth module.
Very nice to run ACLog's rig interface, or HRDeluxe, wirelessly from the
Lazy Boy.
It worked so nicely I laid out out a little PCB that would plug right
onto the DB9 on the back of the K2, stealing its few MA from the KIO2
connector.

But then... reality check... surely I'm re-inventing the wheel. A modest
web search didn't turn up much that is recent.
Anybody done this, or know of such a gadget?

Jim, N5IB

There's a couple of ways to use Bluetooth with the K2 on my list of mods (internal/external), and there are more on the mailing list. Some of them are some years old, so maybe some better ways are possible today?
