K3 TRANSMIT PROBLEM

[Ai4PF]

Many thanks for all the suggestions. I checked the pin outs for both the
k3 and the Omni 7 on the Heil website, and they look completely
different.  I am wondering if that is my problem?

Well, that's a good bet.

I think T-T uses the Yaesu pinout.  If that's different than Kenwood,  
then .. doh?  :-)

What if my 117v wall socket was wired differently in Dallas than it is  
in Boise?  Frankly, someone needs to bash some heads and get all of  
the vendors to standardize on a single 8-pin format.  Maybe Bob Heil  
has lobbied against it so he can sell more rig-specific cables? :-)

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...

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.

Bill, the adapter you probably have for your ProSet is the one with the
yellow band (Yaesu), you need to rewire it (Wiring Diagram is in the K-3
manual)or get the Heil adapter with the red band (Kenwood). Then you should
be ok.

K3 requires only an audio connector in the back; with a foot switch it cannot be any easier.This is a welcome change about other radios where one had to fix connectors, and then often care about RF pickup!

Except that's STILL not uniform ... pin 4 is variously 9600
baud receive audio on  (Icom, Yaesu), FSK input (Yaesu
FT-450/950) or unused (Kenwood).  

> It is useable on HF on the IC-706 and IC-7000

IC-703, IC-706mkIIg and IC-7000 only.  Icom did not add it to
either of their newest transceivers (7200 or 7700).
