I have the same issue - propably caused by a lightning storm while I was
away from home.
Presumably the KIO3 board and the USB to RS232 converter (FTDI) is
damaged.

Thanks, Bob -
I really dislike having to run a bunch of different programs. My program does
everything I want right now, and if this all works out I'll port it to the Mac.

Udo,
If you are measuring average power rather than peak power, you will see
a marked reduction in average power with SSB even though the peaks are
the same power as CW and DATA.
Set your microphone level in the order indicated in the manual (you can
use TX TEST). Set Compression to zero,

Don,
yes I'm measuring both peak and average power. I checked IFout pwr with
my HP436A both in SSB and DATA A/CW. Did the same with my Bird peak/avg
meter and the 25W head at the TVTR.
Mic gain shows up to 7 bars in the peak and with compression 0 or up to
20 there's no increase. Max is 0.45
It is possible to have enough rigs.

Starting at 1500z I will run for an hour.
I will try these bands in this order: 40, 30, and then 20 meters.
Thus, 7060, 10116, and 14060 kHz.
That way I can cover more ground in my one hour of operation.

I have the hand mic on the front, and the Heil HC-4 set on the back, so
one takes bias, and the other doesn't. Also, one takes hi gain, the
other doesn't.
I find that when I switch from front to rear and back, my K3 remembers
the gain, but not the bias. I have to remember to change the bias,

Hello my friends,
I'm using a K2 with KBT2 option. The gel cell battery is installed all the
time. Usually I use the K2 at home with a power supply though and thus the
battery switch is on off. In the operating instructions it says the
battery also gets charged in this state.

Lucas,
If the power supply voltage is within the range specified in the KBT2
manual, the continuous voltage to the battery (often refered to as
'float charge') will do no harm.
Note however, that the manual states that the battery will continue to
charge even thought the *K2* power switch is
