[Elecraft] PSK31 on the K2

[Igor Sokolov]

I have made brake up box for microphone/sound card connection with isolating
transformers. I find K2 to be pretty poor performer on PSK31. Has it
something to do with VFO stability of phase shift in the filters - I do not
know. But weak signals coming from my IC765 get easyly decoded by the
program while if I use K2 the same program can decode only solid signals. I
am not pleased with SSB performance of K2 either. Especially on TX. Having
said that it is pretty good as CW contest rig and is almost on the par with
my main radio.

I'm considering the purchase of a K2.  I'm primarily a CW op but I also like
to do a little PSK31 from time to time.  With the SSB option installed does
the K2 offer the necessary back panel connections for PSK31 or do you need
to do all of this through the microphone connector?

My solution to this has been to use a Heil adapter, so there are jack
sockets connected all the time to the mic connector.  This way I can easily
change between SSB and RTTY/PSK (Heil headset for SSB).  It seems to be the
simplest solution that gives the most flexibility.
