Apologies if this topic has been covered previously. I have a Tokyo Hy-Power HL45B amplifier that I would like to use with my KX3 when it arrives.
This little 40 watt amp is designed to be keyed and to track band changes via a DIN cable to a Yaesu FT-817 accessory port. Band changes are handled by sensing a voltage (0 - 4 volts) supplied by the FT-817. (See voltage table in the FT-817 manual Appendix.) My question is what kind of linear amp interface does the KX3 have? I assume it offers a connection to key the amp, but wonder if it provides an interface for supplying band change info to the amp. If so, can it be made to supply voltages to emulate an FT-817? I use the HL-45B with my Flex-1500 (without band tacking capability) and it does a nice job. However, it takes extra candle power on my part to push the right band button before I key up. Thanks and 73, Lyn - KC8I ______________________________________________________________ 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
