Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 and K2
Is your K2 one with a PA Key out? If so, just an RCA cable and a coax jumper.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 and K2
Beware of VGA cables and the K2, most [maybe all] are not straight-through. The connector on the K2 has 2 pins approximating RS-232 signal levels and 1 ground. The remainder are internal signals at internal voltages. Running solid state amps at seriously reduced drive levels can reduce their linearity and increase unwanted signal products. Don't know about the KPA1500 but might be wise to check. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County Eric Norris wrote on 1/11/2023 11:25 PM: DO NOT CONNECT THE K2 SERIAL OUTPUT TO ANYTHING WITHOUT A CUSTOM CABLE OR AN N6TV SERIAL BOX.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 and K2
You can do it with just an RCA cable if you have the keying mod on a K2/10, or a K2/100. N6TV can make you a Serial box that gives you band info, too, if you have the K2 serial interface, but I could hear the KPA1500 polling the K2--I don't think that was a problem with the Serial Box, but I never solved it.
