Behringer makes lots of audio toys - and they are affordable. Note: I no longer use them - sold/gave away all of them. With the K3 Equlizers I no longer needed them. Not only works better/easier - makes the station far less cluttered. Thank you Elecraft! Bill W2BLC K-Line __

In my continued looking and reading, I have been coming across rack-mount line mixers. Since all I’m really trying to do is interconnect my equipment (the TX and RX EQs in the K3 and KX3 seem to work fine for me) and since someone mentioned the Shure SCM800, would there be any “gotchas” going th

Here's an idea for the shared key... Assuming a key with 2 leads and 4 rigs... Build a switch box around something like an NKK MRX204 rotary switch (This one switches 2 common leads simultaneously to 4 pairs of 2 switched leads) Add a perf board or custom PCB with appropriate chassis and 3.5mm T

Yep, I’ve looked and there is a *lot* of information on this reflector about the subject. I have worked with David Anderson, GM4JJJ, on setting up my KX3 trying to minimize the connecting and disconnecting of cables to my Focusrite 2i2 sound card. The more I thought about the advice he gave me,
