Hi all, I have built a number of interface boards for my K3's that some of you may be interested in. Since a K3 only has one PTT output, I have built an interface board that takes the LP Keyout, DIGOUT0 and DIGOUT1 and generates a separate PTT output for HF, 6m and non-Elecraft transverters that use the low power outputs from the KXV3. It also provided a switched 12v to control the 6m preamp since DIGOUT1 is used on this board. The board contains 6 RCA jacks, one is 12v in from the 12v jack on the K3 rear panel and another RCA is provided with 12v out. There is a switched 12v jack that is activated on 6m for the remote preamp and then the 3 PTT output for HF, 6m and VHF transverters.
This is not in competition with the KRC2 which does band decode and lots of other cool stuff, this is a quick and easy way to control amps and transverters. It is NOT for folks running QSK as the relays are typically 35ms switching. I will have some pictures up on the K8GP website tonight. I have about $30 in parts and will provide the units assembled and tested. You will have to provide a interface cable with a DB15HD for the ACC connector on your K3, the other end of this cable connects to this board via a push on connector (supplied) and a suitable enclosure. If you are interested or have questions, please reply off list directly yo me. 73, Terry ______________________________________________________________ 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
