Greg,
I don't know. I took them out of the connector box that I have. I assume
they are 1/8 inch. Doing some quick math says that if plugs are exactly
3.5mm, they would be a little thicker.
Are you saying that the K3 using metric jacks?

Only issue is that the Mic and Headphone jacks on the back
are pretty frail and don't make very positive contact sometimes.
Andy, Are you using 1/8-in plugs or 3.5mm?

Chris,
Good luck with it. I have the TT Decoder powered by an independent 12
volt
source. It has internal pull-up resistors, so there appears to be no
connection needed other than the ones I mentioned. It took me a bunch of
trial and error time to figure this out. Let us know how it works.
I emailed N3RD a while ago to let them know. Dave said he had a K3 on
order, and that they did intend to offer K3 cables. I made up a "generic"
cable from my TT DX Doubler to the K3, and that seems to work well also.
It's nice to use inputs all on the back of the K3, so there are no cables
to
the front panel. Only issue is that the Mic and Headphone jacks on the
back
are pretty frail and don't make very positive contact sometimes.

Oh thanks for that Andy. I'll get it wired up in the morning with
confidence then! I know that Dave N3RD (of Top Ten) and Sig N3RS are
eagerly awaiting their K3s and will also be interested.

Chris,
I have my K3 hooked up to a Top Ten Yaesu decoder, and it seems to work
fine. You need to connect 5 wires: the four BCD outputs and ground.
Once I figured out the pin numbering it was straightforward (Pins on
the
ACC jack are numbered 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 from right to left and top to
bottom, looking at the radio from the back).

I wondered if any has connected up a TT Band Decoder to the ACC socket
yet. I am just about to make up a suitable cable. Also theer was some
discussion somewhile back about TX Inhibit for connecting to amps.
Anyone done this. I see it needs an external +5v source.
On my FT1kMP use the band data out socket f for my TT Decoder and pick
up +12v from there, also amp relay switching. Would have been nice on
the K3!
