I use LDG tuners here with my K3. No interface cable is needed, just the RF between the K3 and the LDG. When the LDG senses RF it will start to tune. Press and hold XMIT to start the tune process, tap it again when the LDG finds a match. I have both a 100 and 600 watt tuner, I always reduce

Thanks Don, I think I can get a handle on most of that except the swapping LSB/USB. If my interpretation is correct I should generally set the K2 to RTTY without Rev and it'll automatically select LSB or USB depending upon band? Rev would be used only in special circumstances? I'll dig through

The ground is not needed on the audio output line. If there was to be one it would be connected to chassis ground, and that circuit already has a chassis ground connection. An Elecraft-wired mic won't use pin 5, so it's safe to leave the audio out connected to pin 5 of the header. 73,

Redirecting this back to the list. Can you observe the output of the power supply when you turn on the K3? You need to be able to test it under load to see if it's shutting down. I realize that you weren't drawing much of a load at QRP but I'd want to be 100% sure about my power supply since

I also wound one of these ununs according to their directions. The drawback to this antenna is that it uses the shield of the feedline as the counterpoise. If you try ferrite beads, or even winding an air choke, I would think they'd need to be closer to the rig than to the unun. 73, Dennis
