That would be the result if diodes D1 and/or D2 in the KAT100 were

then the KAT100 firmware IC may have a damaged input.

Chuck,
I do not recall hearing anything about such a problem. I would suggest
you take the knob off and see if the condition still exists. See if
there is any felt strands from the washer stuck in the encoder shaft.
If the felt washer has hairs cut them off with scissors.

Everything you need is provided Phil, right out of the box. For me, the P3
was a real eye-opener! What I used to ignore as atmospherics now have a
definite signature and the different type radio signals are easily locatied.

Looking toward future station enhancements, I can see where I might want to
hang a KRC2, an XV144 and a KPA500 off of the ACC connector of my K3.
Is there any reason that this won't work, assuming a couple of Y-adapter
cables?

Hi Don,
I really should have removed the knob before posting, but just had the mind
set that the noise was on the other side of the panel (no excuse for
deciding that of course).

You only need the one Y adapter for the KPA100. The XV144 can
daisy-chain off the KRC2 connector. It is similar to daisy-chaining

Better check your facts. Unless you mean issue of new experimental
licenses. The 600m band is migrating to 465-480 KHz under pending
approval for ham use by the FCC. WD2XSH retains its privileges on
490-510 KHz and is authorized to use the new band with some restrictions.

Hi Don,
Thanks for the response.
If I read the KRC2 and XV144 manuals correctly, the way this would be set up
is to use the DB15/DB9 cable provided with the XV144 to connect the K3 to
the KRC2 XCVR DB9 connector and then use a DB9/DB9 straight-through cable
to connect the XV144 to the KRC2 PC
Stan,
That is correct.
On the strangeness, remember that the KRC2 was developed for the K2,
and the DB-9 connector had all the pins that were needed.

I'm using a pair of Y cables cascaded to run my KPA500 and XV144. One
port is open now. It works great. I discovered that if I hit the AUX

Hi Don,
I had to order some resistors on line, got a box of them now. I am still
not getting the voltage that I should be getting. I check for 12R voltage
at the top of R16 and C29 and see nothing. 12R voltage comes from the K5
relay.
I check the run between K5 to R16 it looks good.
