[charles-70]

I would be pleased to know if anyone is using the K3 with the Yaesu FL-7000
Linear Amplifier and how well they work together.

TIA from Charles M0BIN

Thanks for the info Raj.
Do you use QSK CW ?
What connections do you have between the K3 and the FL-7000 ?

The FL-7000 should be a good match to the K3.  Try the following
cable:

           K3          FL-7000

Ground      5,12          1,7
 "D"       14             2
 "C"        9             3
 "B"        3             4
 "A"       13             5
TX GND     10             6  
 INH        7             8

Be sure to enable TX INH in the K3.  You will need to limit the
K3 power output to prevent overdriving the FL-7000 until the
negative ALC modification is available for the K3.

73,

   ... Joe, W4TV

Thanks for the info Joe - unfortunately I don't have the FAS-1-4R

You don't need the FAS-1-4R for this.  The "K3" column is the
DB15HD Accessory plug on the K3.  The FL-7000 is the 9 pin Molex
connector on the FL-7000.  They should work very well together.

OK Joe - Now I understand.
I guess you're saying that I need to buy the two plugs and wire them up or can
someone provide such a cable cable with those connections ?

Many thanks, you've been a great help.
