Serial Box web site updated with new KX3/KPA500 and RemoteHams connection examples

Bob Wilson, N6TV
I've added new sample schematics and block diagrams showing how my new
Serial Box (S-BOX) could be used effectively with the Elecraft KX3 and
KPA500 to provide automatic band changes, with no custom cables required.
It also illustrates how the S-BOX supports logger-generated CW keying over
the DTR pin of the same serial port that is controlling the KX3 (something
built-in to the K3 serial port, but not the KX3 or KX2).

https://bit.ly/S-BOX

Scroll down a bit and click on  S-BOX Features and Wiring Examples
<https://www.kkn.net/~n6tv/S-BOX/Features.html>
then click *KX3 Docking Station*.

For those using RemoteHams software <https://www.remotehams.com/> with the
K3 or K3S, there's a new diagram showing how one of my customers plans to
use his new S-BOX to remotely power up and use his K3 with the RCForb
client/server software (no RemoteRig box required).  It's a complex setup
with a P3, FSK keying, a KPA1500 and a Hamation ShackMaster SM-8 antenna
controller all working cooperatively through the S-BOX, while being
controlled remotely.

I've also added new examples showing how to connect the K3/K3S (or any
supported radio) to an ACOM or SPE amplifier with automatic band changes.
I plan to add one more showing how to connect any supported non-Elecraft
radio to a KPA1500 through the S-BOX.

If you have a particular configuration where it is not obvious from the
current examples and schematics how you would connect things, please send
me your requirements (off line), and I'll see what I can come up with.

I've also simplified the S-BOX order form
