You will need some kind of mic switch. If you simply parallel
the sound card output and mic, the "hot mic" will pick up sounds
in the shack while operating digital modes.
Start with modifications documented by W3PFR for a mic switch
box (or use a relay driven from the computer PTT):
<http://w3fpr.com/switchbox.htm>
and a fixed level audio output:
<http://w3fpr.com/K2_Fixed_Audio_Output.htm>
These two modifications will make digital operation with your K2
much more comfortable.

Hi Fred…
I am. It works fine. I’ve done PSK31 and Winlink using VARA HF. I just let the
rig warm up a bit.
I’m just trying to solve the plugging and unplugging constantly switching
between digital and SSB modes.
I ordered a headphone splitter cable for the external speaker connection: one
feed to the soundcard and the other to a little external MFJ speaker.
The mic connection on the front has me puzzled as to what to do.
Any ideas?
