A couple of years ago I decided that I wanted new headphones, so I checked
ratings on eHam and bought a pair that featured a frequency response tailored
for
communications use.
When I tried the new headphones, I found them comfortable to wear, but it soon
became apparent that they

The best price guess I could find was in the US $1,000 range, if/when it

But, Sandy, it still has the same 'failing' as the K2 (No vacuum tubes...)

Eric, in regard to your e-mail, am I correct in assuming that the price
increases will affect
the price of the recently upgraded KXV3A, and that the KXV3A will be
required to connect
the upcoming P3 to the K3?
73, Fred AE6IC
...the KXV3A will be required to connect
the upcoming P3 to the K3?
The P3 uses the IF out of either the KXV3 or the KXV3A. The KXV3A is
needed for use with internal band modules, such as the 2 meter K144XV.

Lyle KK7P

If the P3 only requires the IF output from the KXV3, then a simple BNC
single hole socket mounted in the KXV3 blanking plate and a length of
RG174 (or similar) to the underside of the board will suffice, see the
KXV3 manual for how it's wired.

Eric,
Anyone using this combo with the ACC (15-pin) instead of the mic jack? DX
Engineering, and well as TigerTronics, sell all kinds of pre-made cables but
only a mic cable for the K3. I'd rather connect to the ACC, as I do with the
IC-7800, where the audio signal is not dependent on the AF volume
Tigertronics said they were working on such a cable months ago, but I have seen
no evidence of it.

Has anyone used an Ameritron ARI-500 to automatically bandswitch

Mike,
Using the ACC connector will not help a lot - there are no audio signals
there, so the only applicable input at the ACC connector would be PTT
IN. It would seem just as easy to use the PTT RCA jack on the K3
because you would be connecting to the LINE IN and LINE OUT for audio.

I use the ARI-500 with my ALS-600. Should be the same hookup. The K3 band
data output is identical to the Yaesu band data output. The ARI-500

pull-up mod. My ARI-500 manual has the wiring information. Email me at

Do NOT use those to connect between the K2 (or K2/100) and the computer
