K3, Bandmaster & ALS 1300

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hello,

 

I have my K3 ACC connected to a Bandecoder (Arraysolutions Bandmaster) that
change bands in the SixPack automatically.

 

Now I want to connect a ALS 1300 Amplifier with the optional ARI-500 radio
interface. And I need to connect it to the ACC of the K3 also!...

 

So how can I do to have Bandecoder and ALS1300 both connected to the K3 so
when I change bands in the K3, automatically change bands in the ALS1300 and
select the right antenna in the sixpack?

 

Thanks,

Jorge

You just need a DB15HD Y-adapter cable so the K3 band data feeds both the
BandMaster and ARI-500 simultaneously.  I've done this with a BandMaster and
ARI-500 connected to an ALS-600 amplifier.

Thanks Phil,

I doubt this will work, but seems is easy.

My local store have this Y adapter, I don´t know if it´s exactly a DB15HD
model, but hopefully any DB15 Y will work.

Thanks!

Many DB15HD Y-cables don't have all the pins connected straight thru, and
may even short some of the wires to each other and to ground.  Make sure you
check each individual wire in the Y-adapter.

Winford Engineering has them.  Though it is not showing on their website.

If you go to an empty shopping cart and enter CDY15HDMFF-1 it will show up.  
They're $15.  Male on one side and two females on the other.  They stock these
almost exclusively for K3 owners.  :)

(I have nothing to do with them...they just often have what I need.)  :)
