[Elecraft] Data Jack for the K2

I can live with swapping the mic lead and the audio input, so I just wanted 
a constant output audio feed. Following a tip from someone on the reflector 
that I've not seen published anywhere, I attached a 1uF electrolytic to the 
junction of R10 and the drains of Q1,2 and 3 on the KAF2, and connected a 
length of screened cable from this to a socket on the back panel. A solder 
tag on the KAF2 fixing screw makes a good anchorage for the braid. This 
works splendidly, so much so that I'm put off getting the KDSP2 because I 
don't believe it has a suitable audio take-off point and so it will involve 
a lot more work getting going on data modes again.

I'm looking to install a "Data Jack" on the K2 (Similar to the Aux Jack
on the Icom Radios) for use with SSTV, RTTY, PSK31, etc. that would
basically be line level audio In & Out + PTT.

I recall seeing that someone had made up a board or kit that did this.

I'd rather not re-invent the wheel nor do I want to use a "Rig blaster"
type of external box.

Doas any one know where I can find this?

Thank you,
