Mike,
What is the serial number of your K2? That is helpful information - the
Field Test K2s (SN 100 or less) are a bit different than the Rev A K2.
There should be only one diode from Q18 gate to ground. The anode
connects to the gate and the cathode to ground.

Recheck all of your CONFIG settings in the radio.
Looks like a call
Yes. You can have phones and mics plugged in both front/rear at the same time.

So for my home station, my PR77d still plugs into the front and my phones in

Sure wish the second phone and 8-pin Foster plug were on rear.
And USB beside the Power button.
Oh, well. Still want it.

Hi Wayne,
We're all excited about the new K4. I'm wondering how we are to connect a
paddle via the remote (or a mike)? With the K3/0 it's a plug and play thing
using the RRC boxes. But since the K4 works directly over the 'net just
wondering how to actually transmit.
I also wonder if there is a w

K3_EZ, Win4K3, and I believe N4PY's software allows adjustment of a variety
of the K3's parameters from your PC. Of course, using macros is another
means by which you can change K3 parameters. While not the favorite means
for many, I find using my PC and appropriate programs often a gre

Hi Drew,
You'll be able to connect a keyboard (wired or wireless) directly to any of the
K4's USB-A jacks for direct control, or in conjunction with the rig's built-in
data modes.

Bob - radio is a Flex 6600, so not using a ACC cable per se. What's curious
is that the Flex/KPA500/KAT combo work fine all all other bands except 40 &

bypass??

Greater span than what? DC to 54 MHz is a pretty large segment of spectrum.
Yes I’d like to know what the span of the on screen display is or can be set
to.

OK thanks for that bit of info. Since the KAT500 and KPA500 do not
switch to 40M or 160M, I find it odd that both boxes exhibit the same
symptoms. I'd check to see that RF is actually getting to the KPA500
and KAT500 on those 2 bands. If no RF or inadequate RF level then they
won't switch.
KX2 and KX3 manuals provide no quick practical process to translate the
ATU.DATA display into L and C values.

In the ATU.DATA and ATU MD menu entries, tapping ATU shows the present values

Bob - made some progress. Reverted to a KAT configuration from last year.
It allows me to switch KAT to Ant 3 (160M). Additionally am use the KAT to

It seem rather unlikely to me that RF detection would fail in both the KAT500

Probably has been discusses before but my KPA500 seems to have an excessive
amount of hum/buzz when transmitting. What should I look for?

Help:
A crude test for power output is to see if the dummy load gets warm/hot.

Readjust the toroid hold down? Maybe rotate it a bit. Just make a change of
some kind...

Maybe this has been asked before, but, what antenna is selected on radio for 40
and 160 meters? Is RF on these bands bypassing the KOA500/KAT500

Good Evening,
Conditions were poor. Many thunderstorms left layers of noise. QSB

Paul;
When you transmit on either band, does the KPA500 display an asterisk on the
left side of the display? This would indicate that the KPA is being PTT.
If so, Place a wattmeter in the RF path between the transceiver and the KPA500.
That should give a good indication as to the power getting to
