ELECRAFT TO TOKYO HY-POWER 2.5

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the 15 pin cable that will go from the K3 to the THP 2.5 linear?? or is it straight thru??
Thanks,

Re: ELECRAFT TO TOKYO HY-POWER 2.5

The THP2.5 uses a regular 15-pin D-connector, whereas the K3 uses the 15-pin
HD D-connector. Nothing special needs to be done, other than finding the
pin outs from the manuals. The THP 2.5 even has pull-up resistors so early
K3 radios will drive the band data input just fine (NOT the case with the
THP 1.5, where you need the K3 pull-up mod). If you plan on using ALC, you
do need the K3 negative-going ALC mod if you have an early K3.

I use similar arrangement. I follow K3 recommendation of no ALC which is contrary to advice I received from THP. When using THP parameters I had problems. Been ALC free 1yr plus.

Contact either of the US Distributors for the Tokyo High Power
amplifiers for that data. They are HRO and Array Solutions.

Information is in the HL-2.5Kfx manual (use the "Yaesu" data).

Good luck.

OK - Here is my problem, I should have worded it different. I bought an "open box" Linear and it came without any cables. So I guess I need to know what pins go to what pins.....I can get the connectors and build my own cable if I know what hooks where...I replaced the board in my K3 so I didn't have to do the pull-up resistor thing when I first hooked up the 1.5 unit

Hi All,

I have a a Tokyo High Power 1.1KX amp and would like to know if my K3 SN 2704 has this ALC modification installed already? Is there a magic place to look this up?

Thanks in advance,

The Elecraft Modifications/Updates pages indicates the modification
was added to production starting approximately S/N 2362. You can
download the documentation for the modification and compare it to
your rig.

Mine works just fine without ALC. I Don't believe the anti-liability stuff
with ALC connections from amp producers. If you have your K3 using ALC and
provide a consistent output to your amp then it isn't an issue. If you try
to run over the 1.5kw limit for Amateur operation, it is an issue.
