K3 Band Data
Locked
 
|
I am the owner of an old K3 (Nov 2007 # 188) and now I need to use Band Data
outputs. As they did not work I have been looking for the problem and found that a long time ago there was a board that sold Elecraft to solve the problem (REMIOUPGD) for K3 before December 2008, but that is no longer available. Someone has available a board of these or information to be able to make this modification and use the Band Data?. Thank´s in advance Pedro, EA4KD ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Pedro and all,
The first K3 had band data outputs that were driven by open drain FETs. That means that the receiving unit had to provide the pullup voltage to operate properly. Since almost no one in the amateur community understood the benefits of using open drain or open collector devices to drive the attached device (which would provide the pullup voltage), that was changed so the K3 provided the pullup voltages early in the life of the K3. If your K3 does not provide voltage on the band data lines, then you can add the resistors to +5 volts if you install the REMIOUPGD resistors to the band data lines. This upgrade kit is no longer available from Elecraft, but the instructions can be found in the archives. If you are also wanting to upgrade your K3 with the USB interface, you can install the KIO3BUKT3 which replaces the REMIOPGT kit and provides pullup resistors on the band data lines. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/11/2020 6:53 PM, Pedro, EA4KD wrote: > I am the owner of an old K3 (Nov 2007 # 188) and now I need to use Band Data > outputs.

Many thanks Don;
Only need the instructions to add the resistors, I'll keep looking because I haven't found yet.
