Connecting P3 to a K3
Locked
 
|
I just ordered a P3.
I believe I need to order the y cable as well but I'm not sure. I've down loaded the manual and I can't find the wiring diagram between the P3 and K3, specifically the nice picture of the back of the units showing how everything is connected. I am already using one y cable so my Microham keyer and KAT-500 can share the accessory jack. I'm also already using the RS-232 port for my Microham keyer. Do I need another Y cable? Thanks in advance.

Hi
No you do not need a Y cable to connect the P3. You connect to a serial cable between them and the p3 then connects to the MicroHam. 73s Tom -------- Original message -------- From: Richard Thorne <[hidden email]> Date: 05/03/2014 08:37 (GMT-05:00) To: Elecraft Reflector <[hidden email]> Subject: [Elecraft] Connecting P3 to a K3 I just ordered a P3.

Rich:
The picture you seek is on page 13 of the P3 owners manual, available from our manuals page. http://www.elecraft.com/K2_Manual_Download_Page.htm#p3 There is an RS232 (serial) connection from Host PC to P3, then P3 to K3. Also a coaxial BNC cable from K3 IF out to P3, and the P3 needs power, which can be obtained from the K3. The P3 comes from Elecraft with a short serial cable, coax IF cable, and power cable for the K3 back panel RCA 12V connector. A Y is typically used for the 15 pin ACC cable. The P3 is not connected to a 15 pin ACC cable. 73 de Dick, K6KR > On Mar 5, 2014, at 5:37, Richard Thorne <[hidden email]> wrote: > > I just ordered a P3. > > I believe I need to order the y cable as well but I'm not sure. > > I've down loaded the manual and I can't find the wiring diagram between the P3 and K3, specifically the nice picture of the back of the units showing how everything is connected. > > I am already using one y cable so my Microham keyer and KAT-500 can share the accessory jack.

An RS-232 Y cable is needed for a device like a SteppIR antenna, which
receives but does not transmit data on the RS-232. The Y goes in the connection between the P3 and the computer.
