KX3/KXPA and Ameritron ALS-1306
Locked
 
|
Ameritron does not make a band switching cable for this combination. Does
anyone have information for me to make or modify a cable? The combination works great but I sure miss the automatic amplifier band switching. I have the KX3 and the KXPA100 (using the KXPA100 utility command tester) both set at 9600 baud because the ALS-1306 only accepts 9600 baud but I don’t understand serial cables very well and the ALS-1306 does not use a standard straight through cable or a null modem cable either. It uses custom proprietary cables for different radios.

Look at the Kenwood cable and pay attention to the TxD/RxD/Ground lines. Match them up to the TxD/RxD (unused)/Gnd lines on the KXPA PC interface. 73, ...

Thanks Joe. I used a common TRS audio cable, cut off one end and spliced
the proper wires and ground to the appropriate wires on the cut off end of an old strait through DB9 cable and it all works perfectly connected to the ALS-1306 Kenwood cable. The hardest part was using a DMM to identify the wires/pins on the DB9 cable since they had atypical color coding. 73 Dave W7VM On Tue, Feb 14, 2017 at 3:07 PM, Joe Subich, W4TV <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Look at the Kenwood cable and pay attention to the TxD/RxD/Ground > lines.
