P3 with Yaesu FT-2000 and K3

[jd-2-3]

This may have been covered but I didn't find anything in a search.

I don't have a P3 yet but was curious if it possible to use the P3 with the
K3 and FT-2000 and somehow be able to switch between the two radios

without having to switch cables? Maybe using some sort of a switch box.

 

Thanks,

Jeff N0OST

Oops, it was very graciously brought to my attention that the FT-2000 does
not have an IF out
but rather has a proprietary interface for the DMU-2000 so I guess that idea
is out the window.

Thanks,

Jeff, N0OST

RF Space offers the IF-2000 interface, which installs in an FT-2000 and
converts the 65.45 MHz IF to a 10.55 MHz output, suitable for a
panadapter:

I haven't tried it, but it should work fine with the P3.

As far as using the same P3 with both a K3 and an FT-2000, that would
work if you swap the IF IN coax or use an RF switch to switch between
the two transceivers.  The P3 doesn't talk to the FT-2000 over RS-232,
so there's no need to switch that cable.  If you leave the cable
connected to the K3 and leave the K3 turned on, it will look a little
strange when switched to the Yaesu since the P3 display will still be
reading out the K3 frequency but showing the signals from the FT-2000.

In addition to switching the IF cable you also have to switch the P3 IF
frequency to 10.55 via MENU:Xcvr Sel.
