Quick help on connecting the SteppIR SDA 100 controller to the K3S for brand tracking, please. Is it the SteppIR Y-cable from the K3S ACC? Or does one use the Elecraft KPAK3AUX cable set Y-connector?

Dave,
Are you using USB or the com port for rig control? If you're using USB search the archives for my post from a few months back. I'm not in a place where I can easily find it for you, sorry. Essentially you use the SteppIR cable for the K3 and connect it to the com port dongle thing you received with your K3s. The Steppir controller has to be set for 38K baud. If you're using the com port (not USB) I think the Y cable is correct but I have not done it so it's just a guess. In this case the SteppIR baud rate should match what you're using for rig control.

Hi David,
The SteppIR controller needs to collect serial communication data. This information is available over the RS232 port or a K3 or the USB port of a K3S. The ACC port is not used for this purpose. If you are interested in RS232 communications you'll want to see the SteppIR application notes on their Y cable. From there you can get your thoughts together and ask further questions as required. I posted the document on the SteppIR Yahoo group in the files section. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/SteppIR/files 73, Mike K2MK

For the group, here is the archive that Jim, KK1W, posted in August on connecting the K3S with a SteppIR controller if you’re using the K3S USB port for computer control:

There's also a config menu setting but I don't remember the exact name. AUTOINF or something like that. It should be turned on. I'm 36,000' over AZ at the moment so can't really check.
