I'm not so sure that a BPF would solve the problem even if they are on
different bands as the COR may still trip even though the subRX is on
another band...

Hello Stan,
My K2/100 built in 2003 has the KAF2 option installed, and the KAF2
certainly helps when listening to weak signals.
I do not use the Time Clock, which is part of the KAF2, because it generates
a fairly strong click heard every second.

Did the K3 feature of monitoring transmit audio on line out without

Hi Joe,
I just tested this to be sure. The change you mention requires the
transmit monitor to be on and having to hear yourself though the speaker
(or headphones).
I think what was asked for was something more like the new DVR TRANSMIT

Depends on what you mean by suitable.
I like Aether ( http://www.aetherlog.com ) because it's relatively
simple and doesn't (yet) try to be an all-in-one package.
Not free (in any sense of the word), but affordable at US$39.

My concern is that the switching power supply

I also find RUMLog's integration with

Tom was using RUMped, not RUMlog at 9X0TL. And µH Router was never in the

I do not recall seeing a response to your question, but yes, it should
work, and the plug is referred to as an 8 pin Foster plug.
The cable does not have to be shielded, but it should have the AF and AF
return wires as a twisted pair or be shielded in themselves. You can
