Re: [Elecraft] K2 on digital modes.

Hi Dennis The is a another consideration for digital modes if you are planning to work RTTY as well as other digital modes. In setting up my K2 a long time ago, I found much better results with narrow filtering could be achieved by using an audio frequency pair (mark and space tones) lower

Julian suggests running a bar of ALC - I very strongly disagree. Never, ever run any ALC with PSK as it degrades the quality of the signal and makes decoding more difficult. With digital modes *always* aim for a 100% linear signal. It's not the power but the quality / purity that matters.

Hi, This applies to phase shift keying modes. RTTY seems to be OK with some ALC - remember it's the peak power that matters, not the average. Simon Brown, HB9DRV -- From: WILLIS COOKE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Simon, does this apply to RTTY as well?

There is no known problem for using the K2 with any of the soundcard interfaces as far as I know. Most interface boxes allow for configuring to the proper microphone cabling (even if they offer special cables). And the K2 can be configured to use most any microphone wiring scheme. The K2
