There are a couple of choices. I chose to use a 15-pin Y connector and plug a microHAM cable on one side of the Y and a Top Ten Devices Band Decoder on the other. Another choice is a little breakout board with connectors for leads. And of course you can make up your own cable. All of these have

You're right - the 3.30/2.26 NR, although it is slow, it is really good once you find the setting that works best for the situation. And although it cannot be readily duplicated, it is still a problem that would most likely cause those who have had it happen to see it as a major problem, and

Yeah, I guess that sometimes we forget what the role of a beta tester is. It's not to be the first one to have the new software. When you are a beta tester, which you are if you load beta software, your role and responsibility is to report problems and not to complain about them. No

Welcome to the K3 world Jim. I have used the one transistor interface from the MMTTY help files built into a D plug. It uses 1 x NPN transistor (any small signal one will do), 2 x resistors and 2 x diodes. I no longer use the MMTTY program but recall not needing a PTT connection, only the FSK one
