[Elecraft] K3: Front/Bottom accessory connector usage?
Can anyone explain the usage of the accessory connector described on owner's manual page 13? FP ACC This connector (RJ-45, 6 pins) is located on the bottom of the transceiver, near the VFO B knob. It is used with accessory devices. -- Chuck - AE4CW ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Some time ago, Wayne stated that this would allow an external keyboard to be connected so that you could operate data modes without a computer and without using a Morse key as the input device (and presumably also send Morse by typing.) So far, no indication has been given as to the sort of keyboard that can be used, other than a standard PC keyboard will not be compatible. So my guess is that it will be a to-be-announced Elecraft accessory. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???

Can anyone explain the usage of the accessory connector described on owner's manual page 13? FP ACC This connector (RJ-45, 6 pins) is located on the bottom of the transceiver, near the VFO B knob. It is used with accessory devices. For now it is used by the factory to access the hardware directly, e.g., programming the boot loader. There is no user access available at this time, but something interesting might be developed for it in the future. 73, Ed - W0YK ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hello Julian. Do you suppose a 'standard keyboard' outfitted with a appropriate cable and plug will fill the bill? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Julian G4ILO Some time ago, Wayne stated that this would allow an external keyboard...

Ed, This connector does NOT presently support a keyboard. It is used by the factory only. There may be some future accessories or keyboard support, but not at this time. - 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 K3#0009 On Mon Oct 15 12:20 , Edward Dickinson, III sent: Hello Julian.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: Front/Bottom accessory connector usage?
When this was originally mentioned, I did kind of assume this was going to be an option, though not necessarily one that would be available right away. I hope it is, and in the not too far distant future. The PC keyboard communication protocol is not ideally suited to this task, consisting of key down and key up signals containing scan codes that have to be translated to characters. My guess is that any such accessory would have to be a custom made unit sending data in a way that can be efficiently handled by the K3, rather than a cheap PC keyboard with a different plug on the end. Since we're in wish list territory here, I could even speculate that it might have its own display with a larger tuning indicator and scrolling text readout than that available on the K3 front panel. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
