Thank you to everyone that helped with my digital setup. I now know I
do not need a microham USB II and the K3 does great without it. Once
you buy these things you keep them so I've got a future donation item
to the local radio club. My next setup questions involve transmit
audio levels
Basically I set the output from the Mac to mid-range and then while
transmitting I bring up the Mic Gain ( Line ) until I see it flickering between
4 and 5 bars on the ALC. Set the power to what I want to run and go..

If one is building an antenna for an EOC you do NOT want to use too small a

Use no. 14 or larger wire, stranded. Use heavier duty insulators, good
