"but all you need is coax for RF and a cable to connect the rig's Amp Key out to an RCA on the KPA500"
Hi Jim, I know you, and probably many others, are content to use RF frequency detection but it did not appeal to me. In fact I disliked it so much that I have invested a lot of effort in creating a controller that configures my KAT500 and KPA500 before any RF is emitted. (It does a lot of other things too) I don't have a TS-890S, just the much more humble cousin the TS-590S. My only interest in the cable was to help a TS-890S owner. The configuration of the keying cable is independent of whether RF detection is used or not. A proper cable for the TS-590SG and TS-890S would use the active low solid state output of the rig, not the relay output (Especially true since Elecraft take great pride in silent keying). 73, Andy, k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ 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
