John, The answer in the K3S FAQ is "Later this year", so according to that, Elecraft has until Dec 31 to honor that commitment. On a more realistic note, it should be available as soon as the shipment demand for the K3S has slackened a bit and there is excess inventory of the KIO3B modules t

That's odd, I use a Koss SB-40 on my IC-9100 for satellite. I had originally bought it to dismantle and use the ear cushions to replace the worn out one's on a CM-500 I had. But when I listen to my D/L it sounds good enough for me, never a bad audio report. I don't think I would use it to rag-c

It may merit further research. The owner's manual block indicates the Rx DSP as "DSP2" ? It may be doable with firmware IF the hardware path would allow it. IF the hardware paths allow it then it's probably configured in firmware to protect the DSP/circuits... no clue.. looking for the schematic no

Gareth, The VOX on the K2 is the weak point in the KSB2 design. You will be better off using PTT on the K2. A simple "one transistor keying" circuit can be added to the serial port RTS or DTR (which depends on your software) to trigger the K2 PTT will give you reliable operation. 73, Don W3
