I am delighted to report back that changing the wire from pin-5 to pin-6 has done the trick. DTMF tones work fine on the K3 as do also the UP and DOWN buttons with MIC BTN On in the CONFIG menu. The DTMF tones also work on the K2.
What is surprising, however, is that everything works equally well whether MIC BIAS is On or Off. I would have thought that the voltage on pin-6 of the front panel socket would have gone off when MIC BIAS is set to Off, but that is evidently not the case. Thank you again, Joe. 73 de David G4DMP In a recent message, "Joe Subich, W4TV" <[email protected]> writes > >Elecraft and Kenwood reverse the pin used for +8V that powers >the DTMF encoder.
