Intefrace K3 and transverter

[Alan Price-3]

I am looking for a description for a cable.  I have a K3 with the KXV3 and 2 Elecraft transverters (XV432 and XV144).  I have the needed hardware connectors.  I am really struggling with the connections.  Does anyone have a list of what pins on the K3 go to what pins on the XVxxx?

Alan,

I recently had the same problem. The following worked for me:

    ACC Pin 2 - Auxbus: connect to green wire - Pin 6 on DB-9
    ACC Pin 7 - K3 on signal: connect to red wire - Pin 8 on DB-9
    ACC Pin 10 - Keyout: connect to black wire - Pin 9 on DB-9
    ACC Pin 5 or 12 - Gnd: connect to bare wire - Pin 1 on DB-9

Also, you should put a pull up resistor between pin 10 and pin 7 on the ACC
connector as pin 10 is an open collector output on Q7
> (MMBT3904), according to the KIO3 schematic. Finally, make sure TX INH is
> is set to OFF.
