Hi Lee
There are 3 connectors (1/8 stereo ?) in a row on the left side marked ACC,
KEY, PHONES. The first connector marked ACC gives RS232 access. Since it
is not the traditional 9 pin RS232 connector (which would be rather large
for such a small radio) a special RS232 cable is required to interface with
an external computer. A stereo plug could carry data in/out quite
easily. It also mentions that the KX3 uses the same commands as the K3. I
assume that digital/control software like MixW would be able to work with
the KX3 in much the same way as the K3. In addition to these 3 connectors
there are 2 more (1/8" stereo ?) connectors ... one for the Mic/PTT and RX
I/Q which could be used for other interesting functions ... like a
pan-adapter ?
