One of my HAM friends is white sticker. He would be happy to get a K2 usable for portable operation without any PC. I posted his problem to the German QRP Forum, asking for help. My idea was to get an ASCII / CW Interface KISS, the number of keys kept as low as possible.
Norbert DK6NF very fast designed a little box containing an Atmel Processor which translates the ASCII IN/OUT of the K2 into CW code. Not all the possible commands, but at least the minimum information a blind OP needs to know where he starts. Only 4 keys: 1. sets VFO to A, responding an A in CW 2. Responding with VFO Frequency 3. Responding the Mode L / U / C and CR for CW Reverse 4. Responding the power Because I am sure this little translator would be helpful for some of our US Fellow QRPers as well, I post this info to let you participate the discussion. Do this Information make sense, or do you mean we need additional information. (which would cause more keys) 72/3 de Peter, DL2FI ______________________________________________________________ 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
