Just for giggles, I connected the headphone jack of the K2 to the input of an external soundcard that I picked up yesterday. I have been able to receive RTTY and PSK.
I was just curious, what all I need to do to transmit? I understand I need PTT and get audio on the mic connector. If I picked up the attenuator cable from radio shack, and then run it to mic audio, and used a switch for PTT, would that get me to where I could transmit? I have the 5.6k ohm resistor across the mic connections now, and I am using the Elecraft hand mic. I don't know if radio shack has audio transformers for isolation, but I do not have mic connectors (fosters?). I would have to get that first, not sure there are any around here. Would this setup get me on the air for now? I will setup a more formal arraignment once the K3 gets here. I did hear a guy in Texas, said he was doing his first RTTY on his new K3, talking to someone else, I think they had a K2. He said he was sending with paddles. You could tell it was a bit slower than the computer connection where someone was typing. But it came through fine.
