K2 SSB MONITOR

N2PD
I know I'll be told to just buy a K3 or KX3, but I love the K2 and am always looking for ways to improve it.  In the menu using SSBA and BAL it's possible to monitor SSB in your headphones.  What I'm wondering is if there would be a way to make that feature active when actually transmitting so your voice could be heard in the phones.  Maybe Wayne might have some input on this.

Re: K2 SSB Monitor

While not exactly what you are looking for in monitoring your output signal,
this is the way I set up my audio on my K2.  This was published back in May
2009  in QST Hints and Kinks.

 

Many of the new rigs have the capability for one to listen to transmitted
audio, for setting up levels, compression etc.   The problem is that
listening to your audio, while speaking it is difficult to comprehend
differences in settings.   I simply use my PSK31 interface to record into
the sound recorder of my computer and then play it back.   This eliminates
the problem of speaking and listening at the same time.  When I do this I
actually state into the recording the various levels I have the compression
etc set at, then reset them at another value and make another recording.
Then play back the recordings.   This permits me to listen to the audio
files and know what is going out on the air, with different audio levels and
settings.  

 

The PSK31 interface is also useful when someone asks how their audio sounds.
Simply record it into the sound recorder and play it back for them using the
PSK31 interface.  I often do this and then Email them the file, that way
they are hearing exactly what I heard with out the effect of my rigs audio
on the recorded audio I play back.
