The INPUT audio to pin 11 must be quite a high level. If using a KAM you are certainly going to have to change the HF LEVEL JUMPER in the KAM. The level of the KAM as shipped suites connection to the FRONT PANEL MIC but not the rear connector, you can however correct this with the jumper. People using the PK232 have complained of NO TX AUDIO, I suspect the level is so low that only local minitoring will show a level present.
