[Elecraft] Unable to send WAV file to K2

[Mike Kopacki]

Thanks, Don. I was afraid that it was going to be a hardware issue. BTW, I am using the USB to serial cable specifically made for the K2 by K1EL. 

So I guess I need to find out out how to make a connection from the soundcard to the mic input. 

Thanks,
Mike

Plugging a full RS232 port into the K2 AUX IO connector may cause damage to the K2 and will cause strange behaviors.  Only 3 pins of the K2 connector are RS-232.  The remaining ones are internal K2 signal lines to be used for communicating with external Elecraft gear such as the transverters, the KAT100, and KRC2.
