Tim, So very sorry to hear about your tragedy - but the prospect of a new hamshack can be a just reward.
For interfacing the soundcard to the K2, you can easily build your own. Check out my implemenation on my website www.w3fpr.qrpradio.com for more information. I do recommend using transformers in the soundcard lines, but at the point I drew the schematics and took th ephotos, I had not put them in - transformers from defunct PC modems work great. Also, there is no need for the compression disable part of the circuit because if you activate the RTTY mode filters on the K2 there is an independent compression setting for that mode. I can't answer for anything other than the interface - I am a "PC guy" and you want to use a Mac. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Yesterday, my shack went up in smoke.
