K3 to SteppIR interface communication

[Jim Spears]

I recently replaced Icom stuff with a K3.  Now I am trying to get all the stuff in the shack that is supposed to communicate with each other to do so.  Right now I am working on the K3 to SteppIR interface.  

 

I have a clone of the SteppIR “S13” cable and the K3 is connected directly to the SteppIR “Data In” port.  The SteppIR interface is set to “KENW” at 9600 bps; the K3 RS232 is set to 9600 bps.  SteppIR does not follow band changes. 

 

Anyone got a suggestion for getting this interface to work?

One of the necessary steps is to set the K3’s CONFIG:AUTOINF to AUTO 1 so that the K3 sends band data on its RS232 port.  Could that be the issue?

Hi Jim,

I use a SteppIR with my K3 successfully by setting the baud rate to 4800. Same for the K2.
