Thank you so much Ralph! I'm currently in the third year of an EE program and several of the Professors are hams. I'm thinking this might be a possible project for a project class next semester :)

There's a neat looking little Chinese amp on ebay for about $300 (MX-P50A) it interfaces directly with the FT-817 for auto bandswitching. How hard would it be to construct a dongle that plugs into the KX3 acc jack but then emulates an 817 acc jack (band data out only) Thanks!-Larry
