Alan,
Another answer along with a bit more data and a caution - IF the amp is
capable of listening on the RS-232 connection for band information, add
another "Y" cable between your current "Y" cable and the PC and the amp
should be able to use that data.
Caution, if the amp uses full RS-232 communication (both send and
listen), that will interfere with your current setup. BUT if the amp
only 'listens' to the information on the RS-232 interface, all will work
well.
In other words, an RS-232 connection can have only one set of drivers.
Multiple devices can 'listen in' to the traffic on the receive line with
no problem.

Hi there,
Currently have my K3, P3, Steppir controller and PC working flawlessly via
the RS232 out on the K3 to the P3 then the Y cable to the Steppir and the
PC. Steppir follows logging program as does the K3 etc.
I just bought a Acom 600s and am not clear on how to best work it into my
connections so I get the auto band switching. I don't really want to use the
RF sensing method through the antenna cable.
Can the ACC port on the K3 be used to control the amp? I don't have anything
connected to that ACC port.
Thanks for any help!
