Jeff, I have mine already configured and ready to go. I used a Radio Shack Stereo Y cable RS 42-2463. Connected the paddle to one side of the Y cable with a RS 274-284. From the straight key I used a RS 274-274 in line stereo jack that I modified in accordance with the K2 manual page 95 figure 8-1 and a short pice of 1/8 stereo cable (about 6") RS42-2387. I plugged the straight key into the modified stereo jack and the 6" extension with the stereo plug into the other Y cable connection. With this set up I can use either may paddle or straight key all the time any time?
I hope this helps Chuck Gehring -----Original Message----- Subject: [Elecraft] Connecting Kent Straight Key and Paddle For instance what kind of plug (for each wire) and how soldered to the plug. Just to take my best guess I've already bought RS Part 274-284 <1/8" stereo phone plug>, and wonder if these will work. If so how to solder? Sorry to be such a dope- TIa, Jeff KG6ZVT _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
