Bob,
Can you build adapters if you have schematics?
DIY gives you lots of possibilities
Those RF chokes are bi-lateral - they can be installed either way, just
like resistors.

soundcard should be able to use the
high output setting, but if it was reset to the low output mic setting,
that could explain your problem.
Strive for 4 bars solid on the ALC bargraph with the 5th bar flashing.

David -
I’ve played with the VOX Gain to no avail - at zero the rig never transmits,
and at 100 (where it has been sitting) I get the delay. Various settings in
between have no effect. The Delay controls how quickly the rig goes
radio coupled with the KX3. Can be used with any QRP
radio.

Eddy,
The most likely answer is that your batteries are self discharging.
NiMH batteries will do that, although there are low self discharge
batteries available that you should look into.

Julie,
Just follow the instructions. You will need a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
If you don't understand any procedure, ask here.

you better than cobbling up an
interface that would be quite complex.
he signals needed are those in the 9 pin AUX IO connector. AUXBUS
allows the base K2 firmware to 'talk' to the KPA100 firmware IC as well
as the KAT100 firmware.

Check the BNC cable between the K3 IF Out and the P3. At the P3 end,
make sure it is connected to IF IN.

Chet,
It sounds like you do not have sufficient audio drive.
In DATA A mode, how many ALC bars do you obtain? You must have 4 bars
solid with the 5th one flashing.
Adjust the audio levels from the computer to achieve that - I assume you
are using LINE in.

be 'getting

unless RF Board R1 and R2 are something other than 220 ohms and/or not
well soldered. You can remove the left side panel to check R1 and R2.

be if the KPA100 is installed. CAL CUR and
HI CUR relate only to the base K2, and not to the KPA100 - that is an
indication that a CAL CUR setting of 3.5 is not a problem. When I was
repairing K2s, I always set CAL CUR at 3.5 even if they were only a K2/10.
