Hi Joe,
There are some options. A vanilla USB > RS232 adapter but as
already mentioned don't connect it directly to the K2 AUX I/O or
damage can result to the K2. A short interface cable between the
adapter and the K2 is required.
I have used my microHAM CW Keyer with CAT cable to do the PC keying
and CAT control. Indeed, microHAM do a USB interface with
appropriate cable which though it costs more than a regular PC USB
to RS232 adapter was built for the job.
Regards,
Mike VP8NO
