Gene, Well, my Silverado is 2004, not 2017, but HD2500 Crew Cab, which is a little bigger than a 1500. I didn’t bother with trying to use existing wiring, rather I just took my truck down to the local Car Toys dealership and told them what I wanted and they did it. They are experts at wiring

Hi all, In the process of analyzing a recently repaired KX2, we discovered that key-down times I stated earlier were optimistic. They applied to two prototype KX2s that didn’t have the final driver and PA bias circuitry that we optimized to achieve good TX IMD targets. My apologies for quoting

Jim, What are the settings for the K3S CODEC in the computer? Look at your soundcard settings and set them to something lower. There is normally no need for an additional control in the K3S other than the normal LINE IN gain settings. The settings for the K3/K3S computer LINE OUT (or SPKR)

Gotta remember that there's no audio here, just numbers that represent audio. Somewhere in the PC there is a setting that instructs a program to set a reference level for the digital signal. It's not at all like running coax from line out jacks. The digital doesn't pick up hum or flat-top. Just
