You need also a proper desoldering tool. If still no luck, pass it to Don

Some of you may recall that we discontinued our 5-pole, 200-Hz filter last
year. Our replacement for this filter has cleared all of our stringent test
hurdles and is now available on our order page.
The new filter (KFL3C-200) has six poles rather than five, significantly
improving skirt

It's a no for me. Too many wires now. I can't believe the difference in
wires behind my SDR radio and my K3s. The K3s is a rats nest.

No. The RJ12
At minimum, you need a data cable (to the RJ jack on beneath the rig's front
panel). This cable can optionally supply power to the pod as well. Or you can
use an external supply.
The USB cable would only be needed when updating the firmware, and even that
might be possible through the data
The two are quite different, Fred. Yours has the edge on price Other major
differences: The K-Pod connects to the K3/K3S at the RJ jack beneath the front
panel, so it doesn't tie up the rig's RS232 or USB ports. It can optionally be
powered through this cable. The optical/ball-bearing
Same way for either a K3 or K3S: Plug it into the RJ jack beneath the front
panel.

I never thought I needed such a thing; but now I see that it is absolutely

Having said that, and not at all meaning to be critical or ungrateful, I¹d

So, it needs the control cable, a power cable and could possibly have a

With the demand of devices asking for a USB connection growing,
has the K-Pod been tested on a USB-Hub that is also connected to
other devices such as a Signalink USB, a keyer, a computer, etc etc

Does this mean I can connect the USB cable to my PC only when I want to

Or must the USB be always connected?

Hi Wayne,
Sound’s good to me, but with a wire connected to K3 or K3S wasn’t there a
possibility to make a small bluetooth module into K3 and K3S then there would’t

Next to that, you probably would have the possibility to connect other devices
