George, Whether a Y adapter will work or not depends on your band decoder. Most do not issue any commands on the RS-232 bus, they only listen and respond accordingly. Check with the manufacturer of the decoder to know for certain - if the decoder connects only receivers to the RS-232 lines, it will work fine.
With RS-232, many receivers on a signalling line are possible, but if more than one driver is present, things can get confused (the drivers will fight each other). 73, Don W3FPR On 10/7/2011 2:20 PM, george wrote: > I have my Micro Band Decoder attached the RS-232 port of the K3 to auto > change antennas.Now I would like to hook the K3 to my computer for logging.I > don’t think they will share a port as both would be using the same com port > if a Y was used.Any suggestions that would be simple to implement or should I > just forget about both at same time. > > Thanks > > George wb5xx > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
