XV144 External XVRTR connection to the KIO3B

Elecraft mailing list
I have a finished and tested XV144 that was meant to pair with my K2 but issues prevented me from
adding the necessary features to my K2. Here I am years later wanting to now use this NIB XVRTR on
my fully upgraded K3 and the only “control” connection to the KIO3B seems to be from the 144’s DB-9
to the KIO3B’s RS232/RJ45. I have alan extra Elecraft K3/P3 “X"cable (E980297) which is the correct
form-factor. Will this work for me if I follow the rules in the K3S manual and on page 5 of the XVRTR Users manual
Rev F1 of 2013? Thanks for any help or cautions.

Alan,

The K3 to XV144 Control Cable connects to the K3 ACC connector (not the
RS232 connector).  Build the cable as shown on page 11 of the manual.
Connect as shown on pages 4 and 5.

Don W3FPR
