Good Evening,    The annual Field Day hiatus has passed.  It has been cool and wet.  But, then, it is not yet officially summer in Oregon.  For that you have to wait until after July 4th.  However, the loggers have been very active.  They're clearing the other side of the top of this

A Mortty will do a great job of conveying the ASCII data stream to Baudot, generating the FSK data you need. Then, take a look at N6TV’s Y-Box for an easy way to connect the data into the Aux IO connections. The Mortty is $18, available at: http://hamprojects.info/mortty/

No. And a USB cable won’t work. You need an interface that takes the TX from aerial port to the FSK pin on ACC port. You can use a splitter here. Avail from Elecraft. Signal to ACC FSK pin must be T level(need for interface). Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Jun 29, 2019, at 2:28

I'd like to use FSK-D. I've read over the options and would like to use a USB to ACC cable. The ACC socket on the K3s is being used by the KPA/KAT combo. Is there an off-the-shelf kit of cables/interrupters I can get that would be plug-n-play for FSK-D on a K3s + KAT + KPA? 73, Kev N4TT

Greg, The Elecraft power control is done in the RF stages and not the audio. After a band change or a change in the POWER knob, the power control loop is reset. The response time is quick enough that you do not notice it in normal operation, although it does take a dot or two in CW or a couple

Dennis, Impedance matching in audio circuits has not been important since the days of vacuum tubes with audio output transformers. Were you operating the KX3 on batteries when you found that oscillation? If so, the internal resistance of the batteries would be the cause of the oscillation.
