– DIGITAL modes are: PKT, DIG and DATA. There are four available settings. PTT2 Immediate is 
appropriate for applications which provide for setting a PTT lead time. PTT2 delayed should be used 
with applications which do not permit setting a PTT delay.  PTT1 immediate should be used when radio 
does not have a dedicated digital mode input and you must use the microphone (or Patch) input. 
(No PTT) is suitable only for testing purposes.
– FSK modes are: FSK, FSK-R, RTTY and RTTY-R. Three PTT settings are available. Of the three, 
PTT2 delayed is strongly recommended when using a power amplifier in order to prevent hot switching.
FOOT SWITCH SEQUENCER
Additional functions can be associated 
with the foot switch (or hand mic PTT). 
MK2R recognizes when the foot switch 
is closed (pressed) or open (released). 
MK2R can manipulate CW, FSK, PTT 
and audio routing differently based on 
the state of the foot switch 
Mute serial CW - if checked, virtual port CW (DTR or RTS) generated by an application program will be 
muted while the foot switch is pressed. If Restore serial CW is checked, CW will resume when the foot 
switch is released (if it has not already ended). If Restore serial CW is not checked, application generated 
CW will remain suppressed until the application releases PTT. 
Mute serial FSK - if checked, FSK generated by an application will be suppressed while the foot switch is 
pressed.  If Restore serial FSK is checked, FSK will resume when the foot switch is released (if it has not 
already completed). If Restore serial FSK is not checked, FSK will remain suppressed until the 
application releases PTT.  
Restore serial PTT and audio - if checked, application generated serial PTT will be restored and audio 
routing will return to the “serial PTT” setting when the foot switch is released. If Restore serial PTT and 
audio is not checked, audio will only return after the application releases PTT. 
FSK from Keyboard
If an external PS/2 keyboard is attached to the MK2R, Router supports additional settings for FSK. 
Diddle LETTERS will generate the "LETTERS" character if nothing is being typed 
UOS implements the "Unshift on Space" function when checked
Type ahead enables a type ahead buffer for the keyboard. 
QWERTZ layout configures MK2R for the alternate keyboard layout
