Finally something i can help with. :) I have used an scs DR 7400 modem with my KX3 for some time, with great success.
The first thing you would need to do is to make an cable to connect the tnc to the radio. I made an custom plugg of two stereo male plugs and one female. From the head phones connector i connected one side to the cable going to the tnc, and one side to the female connector for monitoring. Remember to hook up the ptt line as pactor is really sensitive to ptt timing. All molded in polymorph plastic. If anyone is interested i could make a quick write up on my blog. Then for settings. I suspect that the kx2 would be similar to my kx3. And credit where credit is due. I got this from Greg VA7BC. On radio (KX3): -MODE: USB or USB Digital -COMPression: OFF -Turn MIC gain off then gradually increase during PACTOR transmission so that 4 ALC bars are lit and the 5th bar may flash occasional. For me, MIC=3 does this -AF gain = 2 Also remember to turn off vox, and sett mic button to ptt BEFORE entering Digital mode on the kx3. I dont know with the KX2, but with the KX3 I could not change this after switching to data mode. This might have changed with software updates. I have't checked. In RMS-express select radio K3 as the dont support KX3. I dont know if this will work with the KX2. Give me a line if you have any questions or if anyone is interested in a blog post on this subject. 73 LA4TTA Erlend 2018-04-12 3:43 GMT+02:00 Walter Underwood <wun...@wunderwood.org>: > I’ve never used an SCS modem, but it should be the same as any other data > mode. > > Use DATA A mode.
