ICE 419 interface
Locked

I am in the process of connecting my K3 to a Model 419 ICE bandpass filter.
Does anyone have a circuit or schematic of how they interfaced this filter with the outputs on the ACC port on the K3, or do I need a full-blown solution like the KRC2 band decoder? tnx es 73 - John, W4AU _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I think the Bavarian Contest Group have done something like this.

You need some kind of band decoder. However, the W9XT board (BCD to one of 9) will do the job nicely with the proper relay drivers. 73, ...

Hi John,
I think you need a band decorder. I use the KRC2 connected to the K3 AUXBUS line on the ACCY connector. I use the KRC2 SOURCE to switch my antennas and the SINK for switching the ICE filters. Worked just great. The KRC2 is not a difficult kit and provides great flexibility for automatic switching. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Mon Dec 1 5:08 , John Unger sent: >I am in the process of connecting my K3 to a Model 419 ICE bandpass filter. >Does anyone have a circuit or schematic of how they interfaced this filter >with the outputs on the ACC port on the K3, or do I need a full-blown >solution like the KRC2 band decoder? > >tnx es 73 - John, W4AU > >_______________________________________________ >Elecraft mailing list >Post to: [hidden email] >You must be a subscriber to post to the list. >Subscriber Info (Addr.

I'm pretty sure the ICE 419 requires a ground to pick up each band relay. A W9XT band decoder, modified with four 2.2k pull-up resistors, one to each bcd input from 12vdc, should do the job inexpensively. I mounted mine (two of them actually) in a serial port switch box, which made a nice cabinet and had DB-9's already mounted. I used serial cables to hook the BPFs to the box, and the box to the K3s. On the K3 end of the cable, whack off the DB9 and install a 15-pin from Radio Shack. While you are fiddling with that 15-pin, mount a little female connector on a short pigtail for FSK keying. Serial cables are nice. They have 4 twisted pairs. Tie one side of each pair to ground and use the other 4 wires in the pairs for signal. You can get cables and probably the switchbox at www.monoprice.com , which is a great place to buy cables and connectors.

The TT Yaesu band decoder works fine.

Yes, The ICE 419B requires pull to ground so the W9XT or Top Ten decoder will work directly. With four 2.2 - 4.7K pull-up resistors, the W9XT decoder is the "low cost" solution. 73, ...
