Clipped pin 7 wire and all is well. Both DX Lab's radio controller module and
the logging module are listening to the K3.
Thanks!

The S-13 cable has a problem ... disconnect the wire at pin 7 on
the transceiver end. SteppIR loops a TTL copy of RxD out on pin
7 and back in on pin 7. If there is a load on pin 7, the RxD can
be compromised.

AI is in the Programmer's guide and causes the K3 to send the IF
data whenever the frequency/band/mode changes. It will not help
if the transceiver is loading the TTL RxD signal.
