For Audio/PTT/Keying routing and redistribution I used an audio patch bay. I also have my K2 I/O routed via the patchbay and one could even route RS232 via this if required since the K3/K2 only require RXD/TXD and ground for radio control. see http://ei6iz.com/?p=67
Good quality second-hand patchbays pretty cheap on ebay these days 73 Brendan EI6IZ On Sun, 2011-09-04 at 03:33 -0700, David Windisch wrote: > Hi, all concerned: > > Operating computer-assisted digital modes has become easier and > simpler, for me at least, with the K3's accessibility features.
