I am almost exclusively a CW guy but I did purchase the KSB2 option with my K2 for some soundcard digital modes. I finished the board almost a year ago but have never gotten around to installing it yet. (It's very hard to pull me away from CW!) Well I'm now thinking about installing it and I have a few questions...
1. I know that there is a rework eliminator that lets you easily change microphone configurations but that seems like overkill to me since I will probably never actually operate SSB after the initial testing. So a simple connector for the 16-pins of P1, wired up with the appropriate jumper connections, makes sense. But I don't know what kind of connector I need for this. A look at the Mouser catalog was overwhelming with the huge number of different connectors available! What kind of connector do I need to get? Is there any chance that I can find it locally at a Radio Shack or computer store instead of ordering it? BTW, an editorial comment - I'm surprised that Elecraft doesn't provide this connector with the KSB2! 2. This may be a silly question, but I would rather ask a silly question than make a silly mistake! Do the filter adjustments that I need to make for the KSB2 have any impact on the ones that I have already made for my CW work? I worked very hard to optimize those settings and I would really hate to mess them up! 3. Another possibly silly question. The ICOM microphone that I will be using requires a 10K bias resistor between the 5 volt and AF pins. Will this bias resistor have any impact on the connections that I will eventually need to make between my computer and the microphone jack for digital mode work? Thanks in advance for any information that you can share! 73, Paul - N8XMS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
