I tend to agree Eric. I have not commented yet. We need to understand what
happened with the original message in this thread and more importantly how
to prevent it. Power cuts happen, for whatever reason and we can't have them
bricking the radio, whatever it happens to be doing at the time. I am
I pulled the firmare chip out put back in and it worked till I cycled the
power. Pulled it again but didn't fix it again. Let you know what happens
when I order a new firmware.

When the external power source is higher than internal batts, radio will use
the external supply. The internal batts are unused and will indicate open
circuit voltage. When external source is not used, internal batts have some
load and voltage drop.

I have my K3 hooked up to the AL600 and it works great. Now I would
like to add the auto band switching. Has anyone done this and how does
it work out? Did you home brew the cables or is there a supplier that
sells them? Any help would be appreciated.

I use Ameritron ARI-500 With the ALS1300 for that.
I think you need the same for AL600

ARI-500 works if your ALS-600 is the newer one with provision for
remote switching. The original LPF board was not relay controllable.
You can also use the W9XT BCD-10 and source driver boards if you're
willing to do a little packaging work.

I have an article approved for publishing in QST that shows how to add
automatic relay switching to the AL600. 12 relays and a band decoder that
provides a ground for each selected band are required.

When someone has an intermittent power issue and their rig uses Molex, I
check there first. I usually find the socket pin spread and making poor
contact. I can fix it for a while by using a small tube to help compress
the socket pin to proper size.
I have no such problem with Power Poles.

I've become extremely fond of the Rollabind / Circa (Levenger) / Arc
(Staples) systems. The only real investment is the punch; the discs
themselves are cheap, and you can either buy nice binders or make your
own. Traditional three-ring binder components can be used just by
re-punching
Some minor changes have been made to the project manual, mostly in the parts
procurement section as related to the J1 connector.
For those persons who decide to build one, please make note any problems,
points of confusion, potential improvements, etc. and provide them to me via

Andrew,Phil hit the nail on the head. When you have the power supply attached
(or an external battery with a voltage greater than the internal battery
voltage), the KX3 Battery Voltage displays the UNLOADED voltage of the internal
NiMH cells. When you remove that external power, the internal

Here are a few relevant numbers:

Hello Group,
I just installed a Microham MK2R+ SO2R box, I connected the HP Audio
input of the MK2R+ to the 'rear' phone jack of the K3.
Lot's of hum on the receive audio and distortion on my monitored ssb
transmissions.
When I unplugged the cable from the rear phone jack on the K3 and
Rich,
Check your cables. That sounds like an open shield somewhere in your
cabling.
Do you have a very early K3? Those had inductors in series with the
ground path that should have been bypassed. If you do have those
inductors, they could introduce hum.

I mount the Rectifier bd to the Z-bracket. It looks like the 4 holes for
mounting the rectifiers should be threaded for 4-40 screws but mine has
about 1/8 holes. There is no mention of using a screw and nut to mount
them
Gary,
Try to put a 4-40 screw into the holes. If it goes through, it is a 1/8
inch hole (clearance for 4-40 screws), but if it must be threaded in,
all is well. A threaded hole for 4-40 will look almost like a 1/8 inch
hole.
Yes, the holes should be threaded for 4-40.

Use the ARI-500. This guy builds specific custom cables for your setup:

I discovered that I have a small quantity of proper mini-din connectors
to fit the HL-45B. If anyone needs one, contact me off list. I can
also make up a complete interface cable for the KX3 to the HL45B if
someone is in need of something pre-built. Drop me a line if you need one.
