Using the K3s with a Tokyo Hy-Power HL-1.5KFX amp.

[Ron Manfredi]

Is there a cable available to allow automatic band switching of this amp
from the K3s?    (Or advice on how to make one up.)   The amp and rig
work well together, but automatic band switching would be nice!   The
only reference I have found online refers to adding pull up resistors to
the (older) K3 board. (KI03?)

Thanks for any suggestions.

Ron  WA2EIO.

Send me a manual in PDF for your amp and I'll take a look....  I've been
making custom cables for 20+ years....

A quick google search will return this link for the manual in pdf format:

http://www.radiomanual.info/schemi/ACC_PA/Tokyo_Hy-power_HL-1.5KFX_user.pdf

Page 14 has the details on making a cable for band data / switching.  Setup
a cable for the Kenwood and match the details for the ACC port on the K3.
I suspect you should be good to go.  I don't see any cable making 'rocket
science' that would be required. :)

HiThere is another way to do this if you use Win4k3suite. Just plug the rs232 out from the amp into your computer, and then connect directly to it in Win4k3suite using the auxiliary port. Then just set the port settings to generate band info or auto information. It will follow the bands at that point.. 73 Tom Va2fsq.com
