Hi Hank, Contact Dave Van Wallaghen from Elecraft - d...@elecraft.com. He does all the K2 repairs, and many other things at Elecraft. But he does sell a kit that you can add to the K2 that will let you do FT8. It is the fully kitted version of the latest design by Don Wilhelm, W3FPR<http://www.w3fpr.com/> and Tom Hammond, N0SS (SK)<http://www.mmccs.com/mmarc/n0ss/>. It is a fixed Audio Output board for digital. Check it out.
W8FGU K2 Fixed Audio Output Board<https://w8fgu.com/k2_fixedaudio.html> This should solve your issue. Thanks, Fred – KD8ZYD ________________________________ From: Hank Blackwood <h...@optilink.us> Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2025 8:36:53 PM To: Fred Goeckel <thegoec...@outlook.com> Cc: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net <Elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Subject: Re: K2 digital mode questions 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? 73 Hank K4HYJ On Jan 14, 2025, at 1:18 PM, Fred Goeckel <thegoec...@outlook.com> wrote: Hi Hank, Are you trying to do FT8 with a K2?
