Just got my KX2 with ATU & internal battery. Waiting on my paddles. Have a number of power sources & antennas to try. Meantime, I have a couple of questions.
1) cabling for digital modes. Looking to run PSK-31 & WSJT-X. Am experienced with those modes on Icom 756 Pro II, Flex 1500, and K3. All I need is the cables. From looking at the schematics it looks like all I need is a couple of 1/8" stereo Male-to-Male cables. No real question about the receive side. Looks like the transmit side (KX2 mic input) is a 4-conductor jack with separate signal & logic grounds. Will it work with a 3-conductor cable which would seem to short the grounds together? BTW, I discovered that Apple iPod earbuds (4-conductor plug) don't work. I tried pushing the plug all the way in, and pulling it out part way. No joy. My expensive Bose earphone work well, as do my inexpensive over-the-ear "cans". Looking for a set of earbuds with 3-conductor plug to keep the package small. 2) can anybody recommend a small (cheap) headset? Maybe a computer, telephone, or gaming headset? I'll probably spring for the MH3, but would like a hands-free option. KX2 is going along to a family reunion this weekend. We are both looking forward to it. 73, Jim, WK8G Sent from my iPad ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
