PX3 & Pigknob

Sid Leben
Just finished the PX3 (kit) and it works like a charm.   Now comes the question.
I had a Pigknob attached to the “Acc 1” port.  Now the Acc1 port is connected between the KX3 & PX3.

Can I “Y” the connection into the PX3, (From KX3 & Pigknob), or some other way.   If I had to chose, of course it’s the PX3 that wins…

Hi Sid,
You can daisy chain them, similar to the KXPA100. Connect the knob to the
PX3 ACC1 PC port. Then the PX3 ACC1 XCVR port to the KX3 ACC1 port.

Re: PX3 & Pigknob

Hi Sid,
Thank you for confirming that it works.  I think the second part is a
question for the Elecraft folks.

Elecraft,
If the KX3 is manipulated with the UP/DN commands via the serial port, is
that reflected to the PX3 in the same way that a VFO knob turn on the KX3
does?

Hi Nick,

I am trying that now and it looks like the KX3 is not giving the PX3 the new frequency information.   I'll pass this on to Wayne.

Thanks for finding it!

Kind regards,

Paul
