[Elecraft] SSTV and the K2

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

Based on a guess that the high frequency roll-off built into the headphone 
jack may be causing you a problem, you may want to try the external speaker 
jack instead.

If you have success with the external speaker jack, yet want audio that is 
independent of the AF gain control, you may want to install my K2 Fixed 
Audio boards (see my webpage www.qsl.net/w3fpr for more info) - I have 11 of 
the full kits remaining ($15 1st class mail, $17.50 USPS Priority mail) and 
LOTS of boards ($5 1st class mail).

73,
Don W3FPR
