Martin, I had it working on my other K3 real well with DM780 except for CW and then when I wanted to get CW working it seemed to mess with digital modes. The Y connector is from the recommended vendor. And I have NR had significant rfi issues in a long while but I will check it out. I generally run all digital modes at approximately 50W or so.
I will try without the Y cable. And investigate rfi issues.
