[Elecraft] HF Digital interface for the K2...

I second Tom's comment. I built and installed one of Don's boards in  
my K2, feeding the audio to pin 4 of the front panel Mic connector.  
It provides a good fixed audio output that seems not to load the  
output of the detector. Now I can just plug the audio interface into  
the Mic connector and get everything the interface box needs.

I found it to be an advantage to not have the sidetone in that audio  
feed since the computer really doesn't need to deal with it. After  
all, if the computer is sending the CW, it already knows what is  
going out, right?
