All S-BOX and Y-BOX orders received by midnight Pacific Time on Labor Day ( 2018-09-04 07:00 UTC) will qualify for *free domestic shipping via USPS Priority Mail*. Limit: 4 boxes per customer and as many cables as will fit in the same box.
International orders received by the deadline will qualify for *discounted* International USPS shipping (discounted by same dollar amount as equivalent domestic Priority Mail shipping). The *S-BOX* <https://bit.ly/S-BOX> and *S-BOX-USB* are passive *serial port* splitters that make it easy to connect multiple devices to *any* compatible transceiver with a serial port. When connected through the S-BOX, every device can follow the transceiver frequency, automatically changing bands and/or retuning. "Devices" include: 1. Elecraft KPA500, KPA1500 amplifiers 2. ACOM 2000A (with new RCU), 600S, and A1200S amplifiers 3. SPE Expert amplifiers (all models) 4. Elecraft KAT500 Tuner 5. SteppIR SDA 100 and SDA 2000 antenna controllers 6. Elecraft KRC2 band decoder 7. Array Solutions RatMaster band decoder 8. Hamation SM-8 ShackMaster band decoder 9. 4O3A Interface Genius band decoder 10. RFSpace SDR-IQ receiver The S-BOX also includes four independent keying circuits to provide CW, FSK, and PTT to a transceiver via logging software. A keying circuit can also be used to remotely power up an Elecraft K3, K3S, KPA500, or KPA1500 using RemoteHams RCForb. The *Y-BOX* <https://bit.ly/Y-BOX> looks similar, but it is not the same as the S-BOX. The main purpose of the Y-BOX is to eliminate a tangle of 15-pin Y-Cable connections when you have multiple devices that all need to connect to the K3/K3S 15-pin *ACC port*, including: 1. KAT500 / KPA500 / KPA1500 AUX cable 2. Top Ten Band Decoder 3. FSK keying interface 4. SO2R box 5. Remote Rig Interface The Y-BOX can replace the KPAK3AUX cable kit. Using the Y-BOX instead of the cable, a K3 macro can power a KPA500 or KPA1500 on or off (this does not work an unmodified KPAK3AUX cable). The Y-BOX also provides a very convenient way to connect the SteppIR Tuning Relay Interrupt option, which prevents damage to a SteppIR antenna from excessive power while it is tuning.
