Interface K-Line and microHAm microKEYER II

Orville
I am in the process of interfacing my new microKeyer II to my K3, P3 and
KPA500. I would like to correspond with someone that has an operational
system of this type. I believe I might need an additional Y-cable for the
RS-232 interface. Please respond off line to orville @ rubyglass.com.

Thanks,

Orville, K5VWW

Re: Interface K-Line and microHAm microKEYER II

Joe Subich, W4TV-4

There is no Y cable needed for the RS-232 interface.  The RS-232
connector from the microHAM cable connects to the P3, the P3 connects
to the K3 via the Elecraft RS-232 cable supplied with the P3.

For best results configure the K3, P3, microHAM Router and your logging
software to operate and 38.400 bps.

*Remember* if you ever update firmware in the P3 or K3 connect the P3
directly to a hardware serial port or other USB to serial adapter.
Firmware updates are not supported through the microHAM interfaces due
to (1) polling by Router and (2) the need for a hardware reset in the
K3/P3.

The only Y cable needed is for the K3 ACC jack if you plan to operate
using FSK and/or use "PTT 2" (the second PTT output) from microKEYER.
