[Elecraft] K3 Connection to KAM+

[Joel Black]

For reasons I'd rather not get into, I found myself needing to get on 
PACTOR I.  I ordered and received a used KAM+ and have gotten it 
successfully hooked up and receiving on RTTY and HF Packet.  Problem is, 
when I try and connect to a PACTOR BBS or even test on RTTY, I don't get 
any output power and hear no tones as I do in the soundcard modes.  It 
has been a long time since I used a modem for PACTOR, and I know at that 
time, you would not hear the tones and maybe that's still the case with 
the K3.

When trying to transmit, the radio goes into transmit, but I have no 
output.  I did try changing the data mode to FSK, but the tone I got out 
did not sound like what I remember PACTOR sounding like.  It sounded 
nothing like RTTY when in RTTY mode either.

Here's what I have connected:

       KAM+                K3
       Pin 1 = TxD       Line Out
       Pin 2 = GND     PTT GND
       Pin 3 = PTT       PTT
       Pin 6 = RxA       Line In

Has anyone gotten an older KAM+ working properly with their K3?  Should 
I not be going through the connections on the rear of the K3?  In the 
past, I would go through the mic connector for PACTOR, RTTY, etc.  It 
could be that I don't have the correct connections for the KAM+.  It was 
a cable I used previously with either an FT-847 or FT-857.
