partial K line es Microkeyer integration

I'm sure this has been asked and answered many times but I could not find search results specific to my plans. Question is, do I need a pair of Y cables to add my microKeyer II to my K3 and KPA500? The K3 and KPA500 are connected to each other with a KPAK3AUX cable. The radio and amp are connected to the computer with KUSB cables. Plans are to demo Win4K3 for rig control and panadapter display for an SDRplay.

Tnx,
Jim

Yes, this has been answered many times.

You will need the Elecraft 15 pin "Y" cable for the ACC jack (in order
to connect FSK). In addition, you should *not* use the KUSB. Instead,
connect and configure the K3S/P3 for *RS232* as documented in the K3S
Owners Manual (page 19) and connect the RS-232 plug from the MK II to
the P3 "PC" jack.

If you do not have a P3, connect the RS-232 plug from the MK II to
the Elecraft (E980297) RJ45 to DE9 cable as indicated in the figure
at the bottom of page 19 in the K3 Owner's Manual:
"If not using a P3, connect the DE9 end of this cable to a
computer's RS-232 port (use an additional cable if required)."

You will still need to configure the K3 for RS-232 control instead
of USB.

Re: partial K line es Microkeyer integration

> I have a K3, not a K3S

With a K3, and no P3 you will need the Elecraft "Y" cable for the
ACC jack (to connect FSK). Connect the RS-232 lead from the
microHAM Interface to the K3's RS-232 jack and get rid of the KUSB.

I suspect the model confusion was mine ... I'm used to the K3S
causing confusion due to the "Y" cable used with the P3 and the
internal (infernal) USB support <G>.

I had double checked my owners manual and then the most recent version online. No diagram. Then, I checked the K3S manual and bingo, therein lies the confusion. I have a K3, not a K3S. I apologize if I caused the model confusion.
