I am interested in running a KXPA100 with my KX3... but there is something I cannot figure out. IF I am using my KX3 currently with a compter (to use NaP3) I am running the COMM/serial cable from ACC1 to a USB port, as well as the RX I/Q cable to a USB port... right?
>From my reading of the manual.. if using the KXPA100 I have to run two cables >from ACC1 and ACC2 to an adapter box that then goes to the Control input on >the KXPA100. If I am therefore using the ACC1 port for the KXPA100.... I don't >have the port available for the computer to see the KX3 info.. right? >Therefore NaP3 has no rig or frequency info to use. Or can I use the RS232 (PC) port from the KXPA100 to provide info to the computer (though I would actually NOT want RS-232 physical type port for this... only USB.. since laptops don't generally have RS-232 any longer.) So can I use the Elecraft ACC to USB cable for that? Is there a solution to this setup...... or is it that use of the amp and its requisite interconnections precludes the availability? Its a bit confusing since I know the update info has to be made available somehow FROM the PC and to the KX3 in order to do firmware updates via the KX Utility. By know you will have realized that having NaP3 on my K3 has spoiled me and its a 'must'...otherwise I will just leave my KX3 as a QRP rig only and forget about the KXPA100 operation.
