If you make the cable up as a "Y", better label the two ends very clearly, or tape up the dangerous end to avoid accidentally connecting a serial port to the wrong side. 73, Matt VK2RQ On Thu, Aug 27, 2015 at 7:56 AM -0700, "Guy Olinger K2AV" wrote: George, Just in case it isn't

As a general rule with use of equalization, most EQ designs seem to have less phase shift effect when they are used in the attenuate mode as opposed to the boost mode. I've observed that excessive EQ in many applications will make an audio signal appear

It's personal taste, your headphones/speakers, and state of your hearing. My hearing is pretty bad and my hearing aids don't work under headphones [I never use speakers]. CW: Don't boost anything over 0 dB, RX EQ goes away at very narrow DSP BW settings ... don't remember exactly where. You

I use similar settings - except I follow the advice of Wayne and Lyle against using any boost in the EQ. That leaves the bottom two and top two bands at -16 with the middle four flat. On occasion, I have also set the 1600 Hz band to -16 dB but I set Pitch at 490 Hz which places 1000 - 12000 Hz

You can use a USB to serial adapter but you must make a cable/adapter than connects *only* pins 2,3 and 5. Other pins on the KIO2 connector are not compatible with RS-232 (+/- signal levels). 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 8/27/2015 9:27 AM, George Rebong wrote: My K2 has KIO2 RS232. Most of the c

You can use a USB to serial converter, but you MUST make a special cable to connect to the K2 that only connects some of the RS232 lines. Look at the K2 manual for info. If you don't do this you can do serious damage to the K2! Vic 4X6GP/K2VCO > On Aug 27, 2015, at 4:27 PM, George Rebong wrot
