[Elecraft] RESOLVED!!! K2/10 I Idiom Press CMOS4 Keyer Conflict

[David Dietrich]

Hello All,

Thanks to those who replied.  I figured a few of you would be able to point me in the right direction.  =)

Well, I guess I need to make a trip to Radio Shack tomorrow and get another cable and some stereo plugs this time around.  All is not lost with the two mono cables, as they can be used with other rigs.  It never occurred to me that I should have used stereo plugs.  For both my ICOM and Yaesu rigs, the CMOS and SCAF-1 connectors are mono, and the radios don't care.  

Background: I recently built a special power cable that allows me to connect a QRP rig, CMOS4, SCAF-1, and the OHR QRP Wattmeter to the same battery supply.  I also want some short interface cables between the rig, CMOS4, and SCAF-1.  I also used extra long plastic zip ties to securely stack the CMOS4 and SCAF-1 on top of each other so they are one unit.  With Son #2 on the way next month, and a two year old at home, this dad is thinking that operating QRP in the park/forest preserve will be the only option when I want some peace and quiet to operate.

73,
