I agree with Victor's comments. I am all in favor of the elimination of
the all-in-one, big box rigs. No vendor in the amateur radio market can be
the premiere supplier in all areas even though Elecraft is trying hard. I

Dear OMs and YLs,
For me the K3 epitomizes modularity. One can build the radio up over
time and purchase only those features required. This keeps entry level
prices down and enhances repair. From Ireland, one could return a faulty
module perhaps holding on to the K3/S and continuing to

Higher quality semi-pro audio products use RCA connectors, and high
quality RCA (and 1/8-in) cable-mounted connectors made by Switchcraft
and Neutrik are widely available from audio vendors
I have not seen a HF ham station that did not use RCA connectors.

For me, that would be ham radio hell. My ideal radio has knobs. A big
one for tuning, little ones for other things. Knobs and buttons. I'm not
knocking Flex at all, but if that were the only radio or all radios
worked like that, I'd just do woodworking.

Yes and the length of the 1/4" phone plug plus the length of the adapter

Cut the offending plug off and solder a proper (for your needs) plug on!
It could not be easier!
Agreed but I would really make sure that the switch is acceptable before
modifying it. I do not use a foot switch but I am aware that there are many
different ones available. Also if I recall the Heil foot switch will plug
into their adaptor if you are using the front mic jack.

I use a Heil FS-3. I just cut the 1/4 in plug off along with much of the
surplus cable and fitted an RCA plug. Couldn't be easier.

Those adapters will place a lot of torque on the back of the K3. A better idea
is an adapter with connectors on each end of a wire.

I set up FreeDV once, but it was a while ago. It is exactly the same as setting
up any digital mode for radio connections. The difference is that you also need
to hook up a headset (or mic and speakers) for the operator. Get the radio side
set up first using test tones.
