You are, of course, absolutely correct Jim. Know that one model of the sat

Hello
I am contemplating building some remote capability for my station. I am

two K3 radios with a Null Modem serial cable or do I actually need the

A long hold of the menu button will put the K3 into terminal mode, then one can

The KPA1500 will be on your door step as fast as they can ship them. IF I
remember, it was going to take a few weeks just to get thru the 1st days
orders.

I guess "3-4 weeks" has become "2-3 weeks" (since 5 weeks ago). so
maybe if we substitute "months" for "weeks" we'll get something more
realistic :/
I still think that each time-relative statement on that page should
include an individual timestamp.

There has been very low humidity this week, and I have had some shocks at

When we got lots of static discharge shocks after walking on my
mother-in-law's carpet, I put some 1 Meg Ohm resistors under the light

When using a rear panel headset requiring Bias, what is the state of Bias on
the Front Panel mic connector?
I have a PR-781 Microphone that doesn't require bias, and have it
disconnected from the front panel when using the rear bias'd mic and the RP
bias setting in the menu. Do I need to do thi
Harv,
If you have the Rear Panel bias set on, and the Front Panel bias set on,
all you have to do is change MIC SEL fron the front panel to the rear panel.
In other words, no problem.

I used my K2 as a VFO for a Drake 2NT boat anchor transmitter for quite
awhile. Worked great while I worked on a real one that fit the character
of boat anchors better--the K2 version was lacking sufficient drift and
chirp to be convincing. I modified a Siltronix (Swan) CB VFO to fit the
bill.

Bias is independent as to front/rear connections.
I use my headset w/bias (CM500) on rear and my Heil HM12 dynamic mic on from

This is getting a bit off-topic, but Directv has larger hard drives and
