[Elecraft] SO2R setup

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Just as a reminder to those of you who are contemplating SO2R operation with
the K2 - the stock K2 cannot properly use PTT for steering between the
transceivers when in CW mode because the PTT line is the same as the DOT
input.  If the SO2R enabled program steer CW by switching the keying, things
will work fine, but I believe there are some that key both rigs and depend
on the PTT routing to select the proper transceiver.  I am investigating the
methods used by various programs right now.

There is a 'cure' - take a look at my 'PTT for CW' article on my website
www.qsl.net for the schematic.  The photos currently have my 'haywired'
prototype, but I am working on a dressed up version that I should have
completed in about 3 weeks.  No changes to the electrical operation, but a
much 'prettier' packaging arrangement.

73,
Don W3FPR
