The problem with the headphone jack on the K2 is not a new problem; you
cannot expect it to last forever. My solution was to take the audio out of
the speaker jack in the back and feed it to a small box. The box has a
switch to go between a standard headphone jack and a output to a external
You may both be right! I haven't checked my KPAK3AUX cable for actual wires but
I bet there are 15 wires because I know that the pins not to be connected are
snipped off in the DE15HD plug-end of the cable.

Hello Group,
Checking my K-line setup, noticed the my utility for the Kat500 wasn't
reading the comport. Checked to see if comport cable from the kat500 was
plugged into the computer. Yes Shows comport 25 in the Device manager. But
when I check the comport in the utility I get the message
Hi Don,
Is it possible that you have another PC program in communication with the
K3. Perhaps a logging program. That could make the com port busy.

Fortunately it is pretty easy to get to the K2 headphone jack if you want
to replace it. Just reverse the last few steps of the K2 final assembly
(basically removing the front panel). Removing the jack without damaging
the board takes some patience, either a good de-soldering tool, some Chip
Quik,
if my hands where more steady I would attempt it but I cant hold a iron
long enough/stable enough...

You are quite right Ian. All 15 pins are NOT used as shown in the KPA500
manual (Table 1, pg 4). What I should have said is that all of the lines
used are straight through. VGA cables are not wired that way.
Pins 1, 4, 6, 7, and 8 are not used. IF you buy a straight-through 15 pin
cable, just

No problem with contesting duty cycle, and you can run the KPA500 at
full power on RTTY. I don't know about the ACOM for RTTY. The
Hi all,

I did it a couple of years ago with a standard 25w soldering iron no
problem.
Anyone who is replacing the headphone jack might want to consider
wiring a speaker switch into the K2 at the same time. That way you can
leave the headphones plugged in all the time and just switch the
speaker on and
I have the remote setup working on the desktop. It is pretty neat the way
the K3 is slaved to the K3/0. Every button, every knob --- they move in
lockstep.
Audio quality is definitely degraded even though both RemoteRig is plugged
into the same router.
I have an immediate question --- is
I plan to transition remoterig from the TS480 i use now to the mini K3/0. Just

I need to use my wife's computer in the NAQP CW, mine is in the hospital
for a fan transplant.
How do I get XP to recognize the KUSB [mine is somewhat old, I think
it's Prolific]. I've downloaded both FTDI and Prolific drivers from
Elecraft, they seem to install, but I don't see any Ports in
I don't see mentioned if you have the KUSB plugged in when you are looking
for the ports.

The COM port won't show up until you physically plug the adapter in. Then it
might need access to drivers. The Control Panel Device Manager applet
under COM LPT ports should gain a port just after you plug the KUSB in,
and the port should go away as you remove the KUSB. That's how you can tell
Fred,
For the port to show up in Device Manager you have to have the device
(WinKey? K3?) plugged into the usb port. Be sure to check the power options
for that usb port when you do identify it. Disable any Windoze power down
options.
