[Elecraft] K-2 and digital question

[Michael E. Dobson]

To the original poster who could not even receive.

The RigBlaster is not used during receive.  The audio goes straight 
from the K2 (I use the ext speaker jack) to the Line IN jack on your 
sound card.  Until you can properly receive  PSK, SSTV, RTTY, etc, 
there is no point in connecting up the RigBlaster.

Once you have receive working, the instructions supplied for the K2 
should work for transmitting but that will depend upon how you wired 
the microphone connector on your K2.  Make sure you have the 
RigBlaster jumpered so that the signals appear on the same pins as 
they do on your microphone.

The only problem I encountered was not being able to use the 
microphone through the RigBlaster due to hum on my audio.  I suspect 
this is a grounding issue caused in part by not having the 
microphione jack in the K2 grounded  in my version, S/N 2221.  Next 
time I open it up for mods, it is my To Do list.
