Did anyone experience problems with DITTEL KRT2 XCVR installation and

No, but I had a wiring problem with mine in a single seater. If you've
used the D-15 connector that Dittel supply with a tiny circuit board
inside it you'll be fine, but if you use a self-sourced D-15 and wire it
up using any but the very latest manual you may find that it receives
just fine but will only transmit unmodulated carrier wave even though you
can see that mic input affects the level bar in the bottom left of the
display during normal operation.

The issue is with the manual version I received, which carries the IDs
Doc-Nr DE-3000-800100e,
Revision 9.4
P/N 100-(0001)-(060)

This version of the manual shows pins 1 and 9 as not linked. However, if
you test the PCB in the supplied D-15 connector with a multimeter or
continuity tester you'll see that these pins are connected by the PCB.

The radio works correctly if these pins are connected and shows the
symptoms I described above if they are not connected.

I don't know if this would also affect intercom operation, but as pin 9
is labelled 'Mic ground' that would seem quite likely.
