Brian,

Do you have a schematic on the web for this, along with the other technical details? It was only yesterday that I found myself wishing for this capability.

Jan, KX2A


I really miss extra programmable buttons on the K3. To remedy this, I created a "button box" that has 20 programmable buttons. It's pretty elementary with a 4x4 keypad and four push buttons. One PIC, one voltage regulator and a MAX232 for RS232. All buttons are in-circuit programmable. Things I really wanted on one button were SPLIT+1, SPLIT+5, UNSPLIT, PSK, FSK, modes and bands. Sure there are other ways to get there. Now for the rub. It can be directly plugged into the K3 but one would loose all other functions that use that port. Instead I use LPBRIDGE which allows up to five virtual ports (applications) to use the single K3 RS232 port. VSPE is used to bridge the real RS232 port to a virtual one for LPBRIDGE. I use LPBRIDGE all the time anyhow so no big deal for me.
Nothing original.  We will see how "needed" it really is in time.
