Re: Maximum Aux Cable Length?
Of course, the power supply goes by the amp.
The ACC cable has the DB15HD connectors, with all 15 pins connected. The longest ready-made cable I can find that I would trust

Doing two-tone tests with the K3/K3s...
Hi,
I didn't see this mentioned in the lists, so I am reporting:

Re: Maximum Aux Cable Length?
Indeed. The poster was cautioning about voltage drop from the power supply which I couldn’t imagine why one would separate them.
You might need to build a 30 foot cable HDE-15 to RJ45 and Ethernet

Yes, but the AUX bus cable goes back the radio.

Re: Maximum Aux Cable Length?
Wouldn’t it make sense to put the power supply with the KPA1500? I must be missing something.

Re: Maximum Aux Cable Length?
Hi Lou,
I would locate the power supply near the RF deck, so DC power cables won't be an issue. It would indeed take a lot of copper to make a 20 foot DC cable!

Re: KX3 and utility
Page 5 of the KX3 manual shows a phones jack and a MIC jack. The MIC jack can be used with a TRS mic connector if the mic button feature is disabled in the MIC BTN menu. At least that is how I do it

Kind of a shameless post but, if your are going to move your KPA1500 away from your operating position. You might find one of these

Re: Maximum Aux Cable Length?
I’ve never seen a spec, but mine is about 20 feet long. No problems. There is nothing speedy on the AuxBus. 1K one direction, 2K going the other way.

Re: KX3 and utility
I did that and now com 3 shows up in the com port box but its greyed out so the utility still doesn't run on the laptop. If I run the interface cable over to my Win 7 machine it works just fine.

Re: K3S Crystal Filtering
I think this is a very good question. It may affect in so many ways the performance of our radios. Thank you for asking such a perceptive question.

Re: K3S Crystal Filtering
You can try it by changing the filter settings. I doubt you'll hear much difference, though adjacent signal rejection won't be as good.

Re: NO RTTY Keying
I do FSK RTTY with my K3 and N1MM and use a home brew 15pin ACC cable to a FTDI USB adapter for a dedicated COM port. Works great with MMTTY and 2Tone. You have to remember to set the COM port in
