Won't the soon to be available big AMP need the ALC Line?

I know in the past it has been posted to insert a pin in terminal 4 on the
K2 and remove the same from the corresponding plug to make them unique to
the K2.

Of course, this is an excellent idea if you
Nigel,
I use a thin nosed set of pliers to bend and eventually break off the male
pin. On the K2 end (female), I just insert a wire or the tip of a toothpick
into pin 4 (use whatever will stay firmly in the hole). There is nothing
more to it - no magic or other tricks.

Dan,
I don't know if the big AMP will use ALC in any fashion, but it certainly
will not get it from the KPA100 AUX I/O pin 4 - that pin is marked on the
schematic as 'nc' - the KIO2 did pass along the internal ALC signal on pin
4, but it is not used with any of the Elecraft external equipment.
Paul and all,
Yes, you can fry some circuits in the K2 and KPA100 by connecting a PC
serial port to the K2 with a commonly available 9 pin cable - the connectors
fit, but it is wrong, and it is not a K2 unique problem.
We should all take the KIO2 and KPA100 'AUX I/O' designations that the K2
5 matches
