I have a couple of Microham cables that go from the K3's to the MK2R+. I am getting setup to run SO2R and was in the process or hooking up my bandpass filters and the 6m pre-amp which uses a pin on the accessory port.
I took apart the Microham accessory connector and was going to solder on the connections I needed for my band decoder and the connection for the 6m preamp. Once I got the connector apart, I found they have filled the inside with a white semi-solid compound. The compound does not seem to come off very easily. While I am sure this material probably makes the cable better it sure makes if very difficult for those of us wishing to use the other features of the accessory connector on the K3. I haven't decided if it will be easier to cut off the connector and start over or try to cut away the white stuff with an exacto knife. A nice value add would have been to bring out the unused connections in a cable for those other uses. Just a heads up for others that might have been going down this path. ______________________________________________________________ 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
