What is the recommended way to make up the connectors between the 15 pin K3IO

There are other signals on the 15 pin connector not associated with
transverting. I am wondering how to make up a suitable cable to extend the

I think an amplifier either tubed or solid state or power supply project in a
case to match either K2 or K3 would be a fun project. Maybe a legal limit tuner
as well. I would like to have a complete kit built station. There was an

Hi
Its been a while since I built a K2/multi transverter setup but you only
need 4 wires for each transverter. Pins 6, 8, 9 and 1 on the transverter 9
pin connector. These are all daisy chained to each transverter. The only
difference in the K2 and K3 would be the 15 pin on the K3 end or a 9
I bought four keys at EBay auction two weeks ago, A
J37, a J38, a Navy Flameproof and a Russian Minature.

going for $80 to $100 which I refused to pay, even for
collectibles, so I bought a

I've been a CW op since 1951 and at one time even

Well, you didn't say what kind of operating: rag chews during the
week, contesting on 160 or during CQWW, PSK in the evening, OF net on
75m AM, etc.
However, if you already have a K3 and another on order, why not just
buy the VII and see for yourself. As I read it, TT has a 30 day, no

The Mojo continues! I finished the K3 this weekend. The first two

Hi
I don't think a 15 pin Y adapter is going to be useful in connecting a
transverter unless you are also connecting some other peripherals like a PA
or band decoder that require I/O pins in the 15 pin connector in addition to
the 4 pins required for the transverters.
