K3+P3+MkII+computer?

Hola,

K3 is connected to the P3 and P3 goes to USB hub on back of computer for
logging program. How do I include the RS232 to the MkII? Does it require
a Y cable for the RS232 or a hub connection like a Belkin? The reason
for the MkII is to allow MTTY and PSK macros and to use keyboard cw keying.

I cant find anything in the P3 documentation nor on the Microham website
under support. Before hooking up the P3, I used the MkII for both
Logger32 and N1MM for contesting.

microHAM interfaces *replace* any other connection to the computer.

With K3/P3, the RS-232 connection from the microHAM interface is
connected to the "computer" jack on the P3, the radio jack on the
P3 connects to the K3. Set K3, P3 and Router all to 38.400 bps.

Tom,

If you had it working before with the K3, connect things the same way,
except that 'same' connection is to the P3 instead of the K3. The P3
connects to the K3 with the supplied cable.

Just one caveat that Joe has mentioned several times. Do not use the
MicroHam interface for loading firmware - that is when you need your USB
to serial cable connected to the P3 in place of the MicroHam interface
RS-232 cable.
