[Elecraft] K3 TRANSMIT PROBLEM

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

But eventually they came up with the 6-pin mini-DIN DATA connector,
mostly used at VHF/UHF.  It is useable on HF on the IC-706 and IC-7000
and I had the same layout on my K2's when using the EA3BLQ interface.

It's not TOTALLY hopeless.

   In the mid-1980s I was part of the ARRL's Digital Committee.  We tried 
   very hard to get the major Amateur radio manufacturers to standardize 
   this.  In our case, it was to make it easier on folks to hook up TNCs 
   and computers tot heir radios.

   We were politely told that it would be "very difficult." This is 
   polite-speak for "Not a chance." :-/

   Now, I think the best way to make this happen is for everyone to own a K3...
