Setup P3, K3 using Microkeyer2

[Kurt Wiksten]

I have just bought the P3-kit to work with my K3 S/N 23xx.
According to the P3 manual, the Male – Female DE-9 cable
should be connected between the XCVR connector and K3:s
rear panel RS232 connector.
My present setup for the K3 is with Microkeyer2 as I am
working a lot of contests using N1MM+ for logging and Logger32 for DX-ing.
The station computer is a HP Laptop, using one USB-port.
The Microkeyer2 USB Device router is setup so that
K3 CAT and PTT  is COM3, Winkey CW is COM 5 and FSK is COM 6
and there is a Microkeyer2 cable connected to K3 RS232.
The question is , can I move this cable to the P3 PC connector
in the back of P3 and communicate via the P3 to the K3 ??
Do I need to setup unother COM-port for the communications P3 to K3??
It must be somebody out there who is also using Microkeyer2 together with
K3 and P3!!

Kurt,

Yes, move whatever you have currently connected to the K3 RS-232
connector to the P3 PC RS-232 connector.
That should work fine for all except for loading firmware.  To load K3
(or P3) firmware, do *not* connect through the Microkeyer2, connect
directly to a PC serial port or USB to serial adapter.
See the cautions on the MicroHam website about attempting to load
firmware with the MicroHam gear in-line.

In addition to Don's comments, set the serial data rate to 38.400 bps
in the K3, microHAM USB Device Router and all your user applications.
The P3 sets the K3 to 38.400 when it is running and results will be
better if the P3 does not need to change data rate between the K3 and
computer applications.
