Hello Dave,
It's normal, what you hear ! The direct connection to the d-sub connector is
not recomended as it can damage either the computer or the transceiver. You
will have to build the interface shown in the N3FJP software, either with

Hi all
Yesterday I discovered a problem with my K2/100 (Serial 0413). I am getting
around 90 watts out on 80 through 30m but the pwr drops down to 50w on 20m
and keeps dropping to about 34w on 10m.
I have a K2/100. It was originally a K2 when I bought it secondhand back in
2004. I upgraded it

Dear Dave,
You need to use the transistor circuit too. It does 2 things, first it
makes the RS232 levels, which are often +12V and -12V, compatible with the

second it inverts the keying. I think the inversion is what is
When I transmitted PSK31 on a K2, I increased the audio until the ALC just

bars show on the ALC. I thought compression and ALC had to be zero to avoid
excessive bandwidth and distortion? Has the K3 got something the K2

I'm sure my fogginess on this is due to my own understanding deficit, but I

If is doesn't presently, it will - that is an important function to many
VHFers and some of those running SO2R.
Currently, PTT does work on CW, but it may or may not inhibit input from
the paddles right now - I have not checked on the progress of this
function with the recent firmware
Fred,
There is no 'reboot' possible with the KAT100.
Either you have a really bad load on the KAT100 (like a short or open
circuit), or the 1N5711 diodes have been zapped by a static surge of
some type (like lightning). Replacing the diodes usually cures that
behavior.

That's easy, just open the mic plug and re-wire it for the K3 pinout -
or if you want to continue using it with Yaesu equipment, build a Yaesu
