Mark,

You will likely have to gain access to a full RS-232 port by using a USB to serial adapter. Connect that to an RS-232 "Y" cable. One side of the "Y" connects to the RS-232 of your loop antenna, and on the other side of the "Y" connect to your KX3 using the KXSER cable from Elecraft - or alternately, build your own KXUSB using the schematic shown in the back of the Elecraft XG3 manual (download it from Elecraft).

Make certain your loop controller only listens to the RS-232 communications. If there are RS-232 drivers in the controller, they must be disabled (not just turned off, but disabled by disconnecting them or disabling them by the use of Tri-State output devices.

Good Afternoon All,I have a Cirro Mazzoni Baby loop antenna and would like to
take advantage of the RS232 module with my KX3.  Of course, I have no
problem with this interface using my K3.  But I was wondering how one would
go about creating a RS232 interface using the KX3.  Would a simple RS232 DB9
9 Pin Female to USB 2.0 PLC Serial Straight-through Cable work with the KX3?
It seems so but I can't figure out how to get from the USB end of that cable
to the ACC input.  Am I looking at this the right way?ThanksMarkKK2L
