CBLP3y Cable P3 to K3 connection
Locked
 
|
I just acquired a P3, but was surprised to learn that I need a cable (CBLP3Y)
to enable the K3 VFO frequency to be displayed on the P3. I located in my toy box a couple cables of same description as the CBLP3Y, that being they are terminated on one end by a RJ45 connector and a DB9 Male on the other. (I see in page 4 of the P3 owner's manual it calls this cable a Male-Female DE-9, so that is confusing to me. What is a DE-9 connector?). My question is to ask if my toy box cables will do the job, or is there something specific to the CBLP3Y that designates that as the only cable to use? Someone please help me with this question.

Mike,
DE-9 is the proper designation for what most call the DB-9 connector. The proper "DB" designation is for the wide 25 pin size housing that was used for printers on the PC and on commercial modems. When the IBM PC first came out, they used 9 pin connectors for the serial ports and many referred to them as DB-9 even though the proper designation for that size connector (no matter how many pins) is "DE". 73, Don W3FPR On 10/6/2017 12:30 PM, mjpilgrim wrote: > I just acquired a P3, but was surprised to learn that I need a cable (CBLP3Y) > to enable the K3 VFO frequency to be displayed on the P3.

Hi all,
First post after couple of years. Recently I’ve put my K3 back to my bench but I noticed that speaker is mute. It wasn’t before and after search for the issue, I found something regarding the protection of mono plugs connected at back of the radio, is that the case? I connected only a DB37 for the microham and my headset was in. After I removed the headset, no sound. If I connect my headset at front or back everything is fine, only the internal speaker is completely mute. Any tip or idea? Thanks in advance. 73 Alex PY1KS | PY2SEX | DL1NX | CT7ANB | PA/PY2SEX | AC1CY JW/PY2SEX (24-25.12.2013) PJ4S (26.11-02.12.2014) PJ2/DL1NX (02-09.12.2014) HB0/DL1NX (24-28.03.2016) TF/DL1NX (20-26.01.2017) www.py2sex.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Mike,
Now that Bill and Don have filled you in on the DB9 versus a DE9 issue, I'll try to address your question about the CBLP3Y. One of your cables alone will not do the job. The CBLP3Y has two DE9s, one female the other male, and a RJ45 connector. The male DE9 plugs into the connector on the P3 marked PC. The female connector plugs into the connector on the P3 marked XCVR. The female DE9 connector has two cables connected to it. One cable goes to the male DE9, the other cable goes to the RJ45. This means you will have to get a female DE9 and do some soldering to make a CBLP3Y cable. I'm not sure there is a wiring diagram to make your own. Support may be able to help with that. I would vote to just purchase a CBLP3Y. I think it is $39.95 plus shipping.
