Serial port control of KPA500?

[tomb18]

Hi,

I have the K3, KPA500 and the P3.  So far I only connected the KPA directly to my computer but it should work like the K3 right?  So, can I just take the out of the P3 and plug the cable into the RS232 port on the KPA500?

Thanks

Nope.  The KPA500 does not "forward" data from one serial port to the other,
and the P3 expects to talk directly to a K3, not to a KPA500.

The two KPA500 serial ports are for a Personal Computer and a Kenwood radio.
