Don't use the Kenwood control for the HL-1.5Kfx. Instead, make up a cable to go from the ACC connector on the K3 to the DIN5 connector on the HK-1.5Kfx and treat he K3 as if it was Yaesu. The HL1.5Kfx only decodes the Band information from responses to the IF; get. The BCD "band data" available from ACC will provide the same data and leave the RS-232 port free for your computer/logger. 73, ...
