PSK31

wa4ywm
Greetings,
    I am looking into getting started on PSK31 using the K2. I have the
KPA-100 as well. I have read the WA7SPY app note and several items on the
reflector. I have a basic question. Where can you get a connector to
interface to the K2 microphone connector? No one seems to address that
issue.
    Also, can you use the K2 Remote Control software to control the PTT for
PSK31 or is there a PSK31 package out there that controls the K2?

TNX & 73,  Jim

Hi Jim:
If you are talking about the 8 pin plug for the K2 mic jack, check Radio
Shack p/n 274-025.

Ham Radio Deluxe controls the K2 and does PSK31, logbook, satellite
predictions, mapping  etc very competently.

Hi Jim -

I got the mike connector from my local Radio Shack...I think I had to ask
for a Kenwood microphone connector.

I use MixWin and set the K2 for VOX operation instead of PTT.

I have the Heil Pro headset whose adapter has a nice jack for a mini plug
for the microphone and a 1/4" jack for a foot switch.  I just unplug the
boom mike from the adaptor (not unplug the adaptor from the K2) and insert
the audio plug from the soundcard in the PC.

You could order just the adaptor from Heil prewired and use that.  I think
it was about $30.

Jim,

The 8 pin female mike connector that plugs into the K2 mike jack is
readily available.  You may even be able to get one from Radio
Shack.  MixW controls the K2 very nicely.  You can change frequency,
mode, filter settings, and it even controls PTT.  Don't run the
K2/100 over 30 watts; 20 watts and a fan is better.  Set the power
control high and control audio level to get the power.  Turn off
compression.  You will need an external volume control or attenuator
for audio from the sound card.
