Sometimes it is not easy to orient the connector correctly to be sure you are clipping the right wire so we included a photo of the 6P6C connector in Appendix B of the KPOD owner's manual clearly identifying pin 1 (page 19 of the Rev H KPOD Owner's manual).

(I identified which pin was #1 by measuring the Elecraft supplied cable.) It seems to work fine, but I haven't used it enough for those little hidden problems to show up. If I need to move to twisted pair to get better isolation (thanks Jim), I will need to identify which wires to twist together. From Harry's pin out below, it looks like twisting pins 3&4 (Ground and Data) as well as pins 5&6 (Clock and VCC5) should do the trick. 73 Bill AE6JV ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
