KPA500 AUX Pin 12 is GND. AUX Pin 8 is the KPA500 remote power ON/OFF pin. No webswitch is necessary to remotely power the KPA500 on and off, since this can be done quite easily from a button on the K3 itself, using a macro, as described here:

I recommend checking the P3 Manual for the correct hookup. You can either use the optional CBLP3Y cable (a separate purchase) or the RJ-45 to DE9-F adapter cable that is supplied with every K3S. If using the latter, you have to change CONFIG:RS232 to 38400 (not USB), and the USB cable can only

Hi John, If you have *CONFIG: RS-232* set to *USB*, then both K3 serial ports are fixed at 38400 baud, so you have to use that setting in the SteppIR controller, and set the radio type to Elecraft (or Kenwood). A custom cable is required to allow the SteppIR auto-track to work via the K3 9-pin

NEVER connect an SVGA cable to an Elecraft ACC/AUX port, unless you have a way to test every single pin. Many of these cables short all the "ground" pins together (there are 5 of them), or omit Pin 9 (K3 Band2 OUT), so they won't work at all and could cause damage. 73, Bob, N6TV On Wed, Jul 29,
