[Elecraft] Using a KAT100 without a KIO2

[Solosko, Robert B (Bob)]

Hello All,

I plan to soon add the KAT100 to my K2 and eventually add the KPA100 
(but probably not soon given budgetary constraints). I'd rather not have to buy 
a KIO2 with the KAT100, since it will come with the KPA100. On KK7P's web page 
describing remoting the KAT100, there is a circuit diagram for using the KAT100 
without a KIO2, with a note that says "it is untested. The risk is entirely 
yours". Has anyone used this circuit to avoid having to purchase a KIO2 with 
the KAT100, and 1) does it work? 2) is there any differences to the operation 
of the KAT100 with the K2? Are there other inexpensive alternatives?

Thanks.

[Elecraft] Using a KAT100 without a KIO2

Bob Solosko, W1SRB, reminded us that some K2 owners might wish to use a 
KAT100 without needing to buy a KIO2. This is especially likely if you 
plan to buy a KPA100 later, since it has the equivalent of the KIO2 
built in.


Bob built his own simple K2 to KIO2 control cable and sent us the 
schematic. You can find it on our Builder Resources page. The link to 
his document is:

If you need clarification or have any issues you might check with Bob.
