Remember that what you have set is a fixed number representing the TCXO frequency that is correct only at the time you adjusted it. The reason being is that the TCXO frequency drifts. Mine will move +48Hz from a cold start to plus four hours. Thereafter is hardly moves. This drift will result

Perhaps the point of my original post has been missed. The only way I could get RF out of the K3s was to assign the K3s codec as my default in the sound settings. If I did not do this in the windows sound control panel, the K3s would go into transmit mode with WSJT-x but zero output. Doing

Wolfgang, Connect K60XV J2 pin 2 to a jack and you will have an Amp Keying output. There is just barely room to mount an RCA jack on the lower rear panel. Look for a clear spot near the Key jack and drill a hole as close to the top of the panel as possible while still allowing the jack to not

Bruce, Yes, build the K2 first - there is a point where the manual tells you that you can add such things as the Front Panel components for the KSB2, and headers for other options. Do NOT attempt to add parts of the K60XV option until you have finished building and testing the basic K2.
