Jim, in a conversation I had with Ron, the UK distributor for SteppIR, who also has a K3, he suggested the following fixes a problem for some. As I don't have a SteppIR, I can't add to this:
"To use a SteppIR antenna with the K3 it may be necessary to use a serial cable with pin 7 disconnected at the K3 end of the cable and to set the K3 menu item PTT-KEY to OFF-OFF" It may help someone, even if it's not a fix for your issue Jim. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 ------------------------ I should have pointed out that the specific problem I am trying to solve now is a hard connect from K3 RS232 port to SteppIR Data In port. No Y cable, no PC based software involved. I am not convinced that the SteppIR is "listening".
