I'm pretty sure I know what 5B, 5T 5R do but what is the trigger, for
instance, for setting 5T and 5B high and 5R low prior to transmitting with
power over 11W? Is it band specific?
The reason for asking is that they're working correctly on 80m but not on
40-10m. They are working correctly in

Those outputs are controlled by the firmware and as far as I know, they
are not band dependent. If you have a band dependency on these signals,
look for some other cause - RF in the shack perhaps? A problem with the

Stephen,
I believe you may be overdriving the microphone input of the K2.
Do you have any attenuation between your soundcard output and the K2
microphone input? On the output (K2) side of the transformer connect a
series resistor about 10k in value and a 1k across the wires to the

Recently, my K3 developed a problem where it wouldn't turn off using the

Well, once again you've come up trumps! I did as you suggested but have
ended up finally with a 1:20 potential divider and the audio sounds much
like it should do, although I feel it's not as good as it was with my

Stephen
When I do PSK with my K2 (or K3) I set the amplifier power at max value and
then drive it with just enough audio signal to get 20-30 watts out. This yields
a signal with -29 to -30 db IMD on my KK7UQ IMD meter.
Hope this helps

I only mentioned the SUB receiver situation since in

on the initial firmware that came with the radio.

Hi Vic,
We now have a simple Windows based utility program to unlock TX outside
the U.S. limits for use on U.S. MARS and by those outside of the U.S.
Run it once and the rig is opened up. (It needs RS-232 / USB
communications to the rig as usual.) It also has a button to re-enable
the U.S.
