N3FJP setup

[w0sz]

Thanks, gang, for the help.  My good friend, W0NTA, set me straight.  For
some reason I thought I could key the rig using audio like with PSK31, duh.
Anyway, Dick, had an extra DSB9 interface cable that he was willing to lend
me.  Now I need another USB Serial Cable.  My computer doesn't have a serial
port, boo!  Anyway, it's a great group.  One can always get help, fast, on
the Elecraft reflector.   Best 73, Steve

If you used KComm you could key the K2 / K3 using CAT commands so you would not need any extra connection.

Couple of points Steve...
(1) It's always worth keeping an eye out for multi-RS232 cards, I
managed to find a 6 port serial card a couple of years ago which was
very cheap, it gives me 8 real serial ports on my desktop PC.  Real
RS232 ports "just work", USB/serial adapters work most of the time!

(2) Programs like Ham Radio Deluxe key the radio via serial command, so
you only need a single serial cable (plus audio cables). Needs nothing
more than you can find in high street shops.
