You could use a device such as the KD9SV FES "short for Front End Saver" The Device removes and grounds the receive antenna input during transmit. Yes it is fast enough for QSK. You can also run your PTT line to your amplifier through this device. If the Device fails to work that prevents the

Thanks to Rick, N1RM, and his expertise in tracing circuits, my K3 is back in FB working order. We found that a switching diode on the bottom (fortunately) of the RF board had failed. (I think it was D25.). It was a low cost fix, and with Rick's surface mount skills a replacement was soon

Frank, My read of your comments is that it is all OK. If you are getting power out, you're on the air. Nothing to do but operate. Pick some strong station calling CQ and give him a call. And, see what happens. There should be nothing else on the rig to fiddle with at this time. 73, Barry

Are you in Data A mode and do you have anything plugged into the Line IN on the rear? Line Gain on the radio is typically is set for 30 to 40 using the MIC control on the front panel.   And with the others,  set the ALC bargraph to show 4 to 5 bars and then set the PWR value on the radio to

Rich, I don't think CAT control is necessary in this case, because in this configuration, all of the tx/rx is on one band (630m) and one frequency (474.2 kHz, used by JT9, WSPR and other digital modes, unlike HF bands where they are on different frequencies). I haven't yet found anyone else
