I think he meant to say "I hope you are NOT plugging that USB to serial adapter directly into the K2 AUX IO connector."

Mike,

All that is fine for CW, but for playing WAV files (I assume audio for SSB mode), you have to have a connection from the computer soundcard to the K2 Microphone input.  There is no other way to get SSB audio into the K2.

OTOH, if the WAV file is for keying the Winkeyer in CW mode, that would be a question to be directed at K1EL - I did not think you could create CW from a WAV file, but if possible it would have to be done in the WinKeyer - it is not a K2 consideration.

A BTW note - I hope you are plugging that USB to serial adapter directly into the K2 AUX IO connector.  You MUST use the special cable for the K2 to PC.  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.
