[Elecraft] KIO2

Greetings

Not a comms problem, it's a 'feature'! (unless you have Rigblaster Pro
which does not work with K2 without some workarounds! You only mention
Rigblaster!) The K2 PTT and Key socket are the same thing...something to
do with full break in I believe.

To fix;
If you have a Rigblaster plus disconnect the DTR jumper(?) in the top
right corner of the Rigblaster (inside the box).  The jumpers should be;
(reading from left to right) 

ON,OFF,OFF,ON,OFF

If you watch the led's D9,D11,D13 you'll see which one it is and can use
the led's to identify the offending wire.

If we are talking about a Rigblaster Pro; disconnect the lead from the
Rigblaster Pro to the front mike socket while you TX from PSK.  

This can also be done by disconnecting the DTR wire from the 9pin serial
lead, cutting the pin off the socket, or putting a switch on that line
to allow the mike/digi to work together - but not at the same time!

With some software you can adjust this in the software, I believe that
MixW can do this. I don't use Digipan and don't know if that can also be
adjusted in software.

Take a look at the freeware program psk31 deluxe by HB9DRV it will track
40 incoming PSK tracks at the same time!

The PLUS Rigblaster is a lot more adjustable in this respect and
therefore easier than the PRO.

I have the K2 with the KIO2 installed.  I use K2 Remote software for
control.  I all worked great.  Recently I wondered into PSK31.  What a
great mode.  I use DigiPan software and RigBlaster interface for PSK31.
That too works great.  Now for the problem...What do I need to do in
order to use K2 Remote and the RigBlaster together?  I am using the
serial cable that I made with the KIO2.  I am using pin 4 to key the
RigBlaster. I tied in at the serial connector at the rig. From there I
cabled to the RigBlaster. All this is working as it should, as long as I
do not use the K2 Remote program. As soon as I bring it up, the rig keys
and remains keyed until I kill the program. There seems to be a
communication port problem.  Can anyone help?
