When Mr Collins himself was in control, iirc, the rumor in th '50s was that the 'A4 cost about four large to manufacture, while, as a favor to fellow hams, he let them steal it for ~$750. The beancounters eventually reined him in. Brgds, Dave, N3HE -- View this message in context:

Using the Consumer Price Index as an adjustment mechanism, prices have risen by 360% between 1977 and 2011. That is, to buy something worth $100 in 1977, you'd have to pay $360 today. Another inflation adjustment mechanism that most economists consider more useful is the Gross Domestic Product

You might try isolation diodes between the antenna switch and/or KPA and the K3. If the KPA is not band switching with the RCS-12 connected, I would suspect the RCS-12 is loading the band data lines. How are you connecting the RCS-12? Are you using the Yaesu BCD connections? 73, ... Joe,
