[Elecraft] K2 Monitoring outgoing PSK31 Signal

[Don Wilhelm]

Ron,

The K2 has no provision for aural monitoring of digital mode audio.  You 
can get that from your computer speakers if you want to hear it.  BUT - 
that is only for inbound audio, and has nothing to do with the 
transmitted signal.  The advice of others to use an IMD meter is a good one.

If you wish tohear the received audio in the speaker while sending audio 
to the compter soundcard, there is a way,  and it involves adding a 
fixed audio output to the K2 that can be used to drive the soundcard - 
that leaves the AF gain control as normal while providing a fixed audio 
level to the soundcard.  See my website www.w3fpr.com for more information.
Tom Hammond is currently providing board for this fixed audio addition 
to the K2, but his supply is running short - for information about the 
boards, go to www.n0ss.net and look in the K2 related file section.

73,
