OK, Mike. I did re-read it and I still am not sure what you mean. The phrase that's throwing me is
"leg of the Y cable that goes to the K3 as the Elecraft leg" Presently I have a "Y" (from SteppIR). One of the arms goes to the SteppIR, one to the K3. The "stem" of the "Y" has a female DB9 that acccepts the cable from the computer. I have the manual. That's what prompted the question. Anyhow, it'll be here in a couple of days, and like you say, that'll make it clear. 73, Mike NF4L On 8/1/12 7:33 PM, Mike K2MK wrote: > Hi Mike, > > That is not correct. Please reread my response.
