RE: [Elecraft] how to build interface cable between K3 and XV144
Johnny, we are not talking about the same thing. I said I used the cable described in the Transverter owner's manual to connect between the RS232 port on the K3 and my computer. That's true. However, the K3 does not use the same connector for transverter control. It uses a DB-15 connector so you do need a different connector and pin connections at the rig end. Obviously, I haven't had a chance to try interfacing my transverters to the K3 yet. The Transverter Owner's manual has not been updated since the K3 was announced. As Don W3FPR noted, there apparently have been a number of e-mails on the subject on the reflector. Hopefully a search of the archives will give you what you need. My apologies for the confusion.

RE: [Elecraft] how to build interface cable between K3 and XV144
Fb Jonny. I believe the same cable works. I use my transverter cable as an RS-232 "extension cord" between my computer RS232 port and the K3. Yes, the K2 "AUX" connector is not a true RS232 port. But the three wires used in the cable are compatible with either the AUX port or an RS232 port. They have the three basic lines needed for most communications. The real danger is in hooking a full RS232 cable to the K2 AUX port. That often results in damaging voltages being applied to the K2 AUX port because, other than the three lines + ground shown in the transverter cable, some of the other connections are not the same as used in normal RS232 busses.

Johnny Check the reflector archives for the past 3 days. The cable wiring required was discussed then in several posts. 73, Don W3FPR Johnny Siu wrote: > Hello Ron, > > Thanks for your reply. > > Yes, I did read p.9 of the XV144 operation manual.

RE: [Elecraft] how to build interface cable between K3 and XV144
Hello Johnny: You should have received the "Elecraft Transverter Models XV50, XV144, XV222, XV432 Owner's Manual" with your transverter kit. It's separate from the assembly manual. See page 9 of that manual for the details. If you don't have it, it's available for download here: http://www.elecraft.com/manual/XV%20Transverter%20Owner's%20Manual-D.pdf Ron AC7AC -Original Message- Hello Group, Both the K3 and XV144 manuals do not give the details to build an interface cable between K3 (with KXV3) and XV144. Can anybody help and show me where to get the information? TNX & 73 Johnny Siu VR2xmc ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
