Good Evening,
Propagation was fairly good. QSB was both fast and slow while QRN
was low. No thunderstorm noise is nice. Weather reports were mild for
mid January. Only a little snow.
I saw a doe browsing her way through between nets. She was soaked
and did not look happy. Wind
3784 kHz, 9PM ET Sunday (0200Z Monday).
Thanks to the following check ins (w), and relays (r):

2 WB9JNZ ILFTdx101d Eric (w),(r)

Good advice, especially the caution on the keying current of older amps!
Also notice that Jim did not say to connect the ALC, just watch your K3
drive level.

I have a Yaesu FTDX3000 and I am about ready to put in an order for the
KAT/KPA500 combo and the CBL-YAE-BKDA15 cable.
Right now, I have a mAT-30 tuner from Vibroplex. After having tuned all the
bands I use, the tuner recalls the setting from memory as I spin the tuning
knob. So, the relays
Have you contacted Tom VA2FSQ for support? com0com is his recommended program.

I upgraded the relay in my AL-1200 which is faster but I still set the TX delay
up a little. Keying cable is all you need after that.

I'm using VSPM, which K5FR provided free to hams.

It does not do port splitting if that is what you need, and it has
been a few years since I heard from him, but he was blogging as late
as last July, so it is worth a shot to contact him.
73,
I had Ameritron 80B with K3. Use only keying cable, RF. Do not use ALC
cable. I used semi-break-in CW. Worked fine.

I have an Ameritron 1500 and the only thing I did is set the transmit delay up
a bit on the K3 because those clunky relays in the 1500 are so slow. I use it
on FT8 with reduced power on occasion.

Is your K2 one with a PA Key out? If so, just an RCA cable and a coax
jumper.
If your K2 is a K2/100 then it will have PA

I have a K3 and recently acquired an Ameritron AL-80A from an estate.
Has anyone been successful interconnecting these two items?
