Hi everyone. I'm out of date with with recent list correspondence, but does anyone happen to know how or if the P3 device can be used with a K2? The P3-K3 interconnect photos are certainly appealing, but I'm not a K3 user. I assume that an IF interconnection would be required for the K2, but

Hello Everyone, Following several years away from digital modes (I preferCW), I recently reconfigured my K2/100 with a RIGblaster-plus interface using its VOX mode to key PSK31 using HRD. Don Wilhelm was most helpful in educating me about sound card interconnections to the K2. I'd forgotten

Hello Everyone, Recently I purchased two of the LED CW Indicator kits through the Eastern PA QRP Club. I THINK - - but now I'm not sure - - that the kit is designed to install in either/both my K2 and in my KX1 rigs. In looking over the kit and my KX1, I can't see which button the LED

Hello everyone, A couple of days ago I inadvertently lost an Elecraft reflector message from a French Ham (an F6...) whose name was Jean-Jack. He was inquiring about a K2 which I had for sale several weeks ago. If Jean-Jack happens to read this message, I'd be glad to respond directly.
