[Elecraft] K2 Alignment question

[Darrell Bellerive]

DW,

It is always recommended that the basic K2 be completed before adding options. 
That way you have a known working base to move forward from. Then again there 
are those of us who don't follow the rules. There is no effect on the CW 
filter setup whether the SSB adapter is installed or not. Just more work to 
remove it if something isn't working properly.

Also use the external speaker output of the K2 to drive your sound card input. 
If your sound card has a line in, use it rather than the mic in. I place the 
top cover beside the K2 and connect the cable from the K2 speaker to the 
audio out on the K2 RF board, then connect my PC via the K2 external speaker 
jack. I suppose one could also make a cable to go from the K2 audio out 
connector on the RF board to the sound card.

73,
Darrell
