OK, on that one you could mount a very nice long wire between the nose
and the top of the rudder! The aircraft is probably already certified
for just such a wire.

is recommended or preferred by K3 owners? I don't have any particular needs.

GM I'm doing some planning for the remote control of a station and would like
some help regarding the PC based control software. From what I've read so far
the RemoteRig RCC-1258 looks like an interesting approach using TRX-Manager (it
seems to have more functionality than HamRadioDeluxe).
I prefer the Audio Technica MB-3k myself. I use it on SSB and AM with good
reports. I use a foot switch to keep my hands free to type or write notes.

priced and have good sound. Get the Heil Desk stand with the PTT

Also, a lot of mic out there like even some from Radio Shack offer

The battery in my K2, KBT2 does not charge any more.
With 13,5 volts at J3 socket, I measure this same 13,5 v on the
terminals of the battery, but it does not charge.
The battery is 6 years old. Could it be kaput?

One great thing about the K3 is that almost any good dynamic mic, and
any unbalanced electret mic, will work VERY WELL with the K3.

Perhaps the Rx lines in the cable aren't connecting right. It appears that
when the computer sends data to the K3 the radio is receiving it, because
the radio follows a bandmap click. However the computer isn't hearing the

I'd try another cable.

If you have a foot switch with some kind of plug (mini audio, etc.) you can
likely pick up an adapter at any consumer audio store that will convert it
to an RCA type without soldering or opening the cable.
