Re: [Elecraft] K3, P3 & KPA500
I believe this PC connection is only for firmware updates for the KPA-500. the "operational link" between the K3 and KPA-500 is via the ACC connector.

Re: [Elecraft] K3, P3 & KPA500
The KPA500 is not in the chain. It needs its own connection to the PC. So your chain will look like: Computer Port 1 <-> KPA500 Computer Port 2 <-> PE <-> K3 Jack Brindle, W6FB On Apr 3, 2011, at 2:27 PM, Toby Deinhardt wrote: > I was just wondering, what will be the recommended chain of devices on > the RS232 line? > > a) Computer <-> P3 <-> KPA500 <-> K3 > > or > > b) Computer <-> KPA500 <-> P3 <-> K3 > > vy 73 de toby > __ > 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 __ 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
