K2/100 + logger

[George]

How do I connect my K2/100 to my computer N3FJP logger?  Tnx Geo/W2BPI

Geo,

I don't know that specific logger, but in general, you will need to
connect the computer cable that was built with your KPA100 between the
K2 AUX IO and a computer serial port.  Then tell the logging application
it is working with a K2 and also which com port it is connected to.

WARNING - Do NOT connect a standard serial cable to the K2 AUX IO
connector - there are internal K2 signals intended for operation of
external Elecraft devices - transverters, KRC2, KAT100.  Note that the
connector is NOT labeled RS-232  - there are 2 RS-232 signal lines TXD
and RXD, but only those 2.  If you bought a used KPA100 and did not
receive the special cable, you will have to obtain the parts and build
the one specified in the KPA100 (or KIO2) manual.

For best reliability, use a real serial port or a good USB to serial
converter - many "adapters" do not like to work at the "slow" 4800 baud
rate of the K2.
