Hi, Steve,
ummm...I hope all 9 pins aren't connected, as per the KIO2 manual, some of them can cause damage to PC or Rig. See pages 12 & 13 of the KIO2 manual. 72 de N8PVZ ---bernie ===================================== Date: Sat, 9 Dec 2006 17:58:03 -0700 From: "Steve Banks" Subject: [Elecraft] Interface problem... A few days ago I bought a new Rigblaster <snip> The new interface was a replacement for an identical one which apparently died <snip> The new interface has been a total failure, however, and refuses to operate correctly. <snip> Just FYI I'm running <snip>a simple 9-pin serial port connection between my K2 and my desktop PC <snip> ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

The "special" 3-wire cable goes from a computer serial port to the K2 I/O port. This permits control of the rig via a program such as Ham Radio Deluxe or equivlaent where you specify the serial port that it is connected to. A "regular" 9-wire serial cable goes from a DIFFERENT computer serial port to the Rigblaster, which permits the program to control the K2's PTT circuitry. This is the serial port that you specify in the setup of the data program such as MixW or Digipan. The audio cables between the K2, the Rigblaster, and the computer's sound card enable the program to exchange audio between the program and the K2 for digital modes. That's how I run my K2/100 and Rigblaster Plus. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Phil and all,
HRD does allow for the same serial port to be used for both PTT keying (with its integrated PSK31) and transceiver control, but the hardware implementation of the interface box may negate Simon's best efforts to make that possible. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > >Hi, Steve, > > > ummm...I hope all 9 pins aren't connected, as per > >the KIO2 manual, some of them can cause damage to PC > >or Rig.
