Don offers generally good advice. I would argue with the statement that the
j-bolt sill anchors aren't grounded, however. They may not make a good safety
or made ground, but for anti-static purposes, they should be fine.

The resistance was ~10K. So this would increase the ground strap resistance
to ground by 1%, that's a few ohms in my book.

doesn't work (at least on my K3) using the internal speaker.
Is this normal? If so, how come?

K3 is highly
non-linear and has infinite gain, i.e. it puts out X watts regardless of drive.
I know that you don't mean that, so could you clarify?

Last night even that didn't work and I had to resort to the power
switch to close shut down.

--- On Wed, 9/2/09, James Harris Hi, Dick.
Maybe I need to describe my setup a bit more thoroughly.
I do not have a Serial Port of any kind on my DELL laptop computer: hence
trying an
magic way to get this
signal from the K3 or am I going to be forced to mod the amp again, kluge
another circuit in-line, or forget the idea and stick with the '870?

d 12V. This will have to do until I get around to my vacuum
relay QSK/electronic bias switch mod for the L4.
What a difference 10 dB makes. Life is too short for QRP.

The only con I have is that I need the earpieces completely to the end of the
headband (in the large direction). Every time I take them off one earpiece
slides up the headband. May be a time for a dab of RTV.

Please
George,
Sounds like you answered your own question.
I'm using either a TS-870SAT or a K3 with my L4B. The '870's tuner will even
match the L4's input on the WARC bands and the L4 makes a dandy "antenna tuner."

This is supposed to be a battery charging source. I wouldn't even subject my
batteries to this except in desperation. Def

Being able to lock my K3 to an external 10MHz reference might be nice
someday though.
That might make it more stable but it won't make it more accurate.
For the reason why, see:
