Help with a Macro from the K3 to turn on the KAP500

Somewhere I thought there was written a short macro to designate a button
on the K3 to turn on the Amp from the K3.

Any help with that would be greatly appreciated. This old ham has his fist
in to too many old radios at the moment to sit down and figure out code.
Too busy reading resistor codes. All help appreciated. Thanks, Bill N2WL

Re: Help with a Macro from the K3 to turn on the KAP500

Hi
That would be news to me, since the k3 and kpa use different serial ports.

Hi
Yes they talk to each other but only send band change info and certain other statuses. To do this with only a macro and no possible hardware is not possible

Re: Help with a Macro from the K3 to turn on the KAP500

Tom,

Think about it a bit. The K3 ACC cable connects to the KPA500 for the
band data only. So how could any form of a command be passed over the
band data lines?

Re: Help with a Macro from the K3 to turn on the KAP500

Don,
Don't quite follow here... Are you agreeing or not?
My understanding without actually looking up the acc cable is that only band data, and standby operate status is exchanged. Is this not the case?
At one point I called elecraft about this specifically and they told me you need the dedicated serial port for the kpa to control it.

Re: Help with a Macro from the K3 to turn on the KAP500

The KPA500 can be controlled by a serial port, but not the same serial port
at the same time that is used to control your K3 or K3/P3 combination. You
don't "daisy chain" the amp from the K3's serial port.

One way to turn the KPA500 on and off "remotely" is to use a serial port and
a computer program. The KPA Utility can do this.

Additionally, there is a "power on" pin on the KPA500's 15-pin ACC
connector. If you can arrange to bring that line low, the KPA500 can be
powered up. The K3 has a similar function on its ACC connector for powering
on with an external relay closure.

K6XX wrote up his technique to get the K3 to bring the KPA500 POWER line low
by manipulating the K3 DIGOUT1 line. That is on the K3's 15-pin ACC
connector.

The 15-pin "thru" cable we sell for the K3 to KPA500 does not connect K3
DIGOUT1 to KPA500 power on. Bob ran a separate wire for that.

Bob wrote up his technique in this post:
http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/macro-to-control-KPA500-td7240517.html#
a7243817

It is a wire between the K3 and KPA500. It is not the RS-232 serial port.

And the same DIGOUT1 is used to switch the PR-6. Bob mentions that in his
post.

In reply to this post by tomb18

Hi,
Ok it seems this is cleared up. Thanks Dirk. But it was Bill who thought it could be done, not me. I know it can't.
BTW, there is a command that can turn on the KPA via a serial connection.

The application to pipe a macro from the K3 to a KPA500 is not trivial and I do not know of an application that will do that. Of course, it is not beyond the capabilities of an adept programmer who can develop such a specialized application.
