Hi DW, When I installed Don's Fixed Audio Output board I didn't want to drill any holes in my K2 either.
Instead, I routed the output to one of the two existing holes on the back panel which I terminated in a RCA phono jack. The other hole got a miniature (not pc board miniature, the old fashion type with a shaft) 10K pot which I wired into the FAO board in place of the pc board pot. Everything fits just fine, and with a small knob on the pot shaft, I can just reach around and increase or decrease the output. When properly adjusted on 80 and 40, output on 15 - 10 m was too low for my taste. 73, Tom -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DW Holtman Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2008 6:41 PM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K2 Mods Hello, I finally got around to installing the CW LED tuning indicator by Tom Hammond N0SS. It works great, I should have put it in way back when, upon completion of the K2. It is both sensitive to weak signals and selective. Next I'm thinking about putting the Fixed Audio Output for digital modes created by Don Wilhelm W3FPR. It looks very well designed. Don has put a lot of time and effort into this project to design, build and document so everyone can read and understand it. Have many put this in and are you happy with the results? I'm a little nervous about drilling holes in the back panel. Don also has a another project on his very informative web page. This is a switch box to make the connections from Digital modes to SSB without unplugging cables and changing the compression settings on the SSB Board. Has anyone built this and how do you like it? Would it be possible to combine the two. So a fixed audio would be applied to the mic plug to use in the switch box? This would also eleminate drilling the back panel? I did not know if I should send this to Don, since he is the expert on most things related to the K2. But, I thought I would send it to the group for any ideas and hopefully Don will let everyone know what he thinks. Best, DW Holtman Wb7SSN _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
