Re: [Elecraft] K3 Serial Port Connections
I have the rotor on a separate port. SteppIR sells a cable that goes from the computer to the radio to the control box (http://www.steppir.com/files/USWebPriceList.pdf #02114). I can't help with the amp hookup. How does the amp manual say to do it? FWIW, I use USB to serial cables, and have no problems with them. Not a clue as to the brand, they weren't labeled. 73, Mike NF4L John Lally wrote: > How do you connect a K3 to antenna rotator, a computer, a transceiver > controlled amplifier and a stepper transceiver controlled antenna via the > one serial port on the K3? > > > > Thanks. > > > > John > > W7JJL > > __ > 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
Re: [Elecraft] K3 Serial Port Connections
John, That is actually up to the user to determine. It does require an interim intelligent device. Check out LP-Bridge or several other serial port sharing applications that run on your PC. The K3 is a terminal device, it does not provide control for all RS-232 based communications. Refer to the K3 Programmer's Reference to see the data that is sent to/from the K3. 73, Don W3FPR John Lally wrote: > How do you connect a K3 to antenna rotator, a computer, a transceiver > controlled amplifier and a stepper transceiver controlled antenna via the > one serial port on the K3? > > __ 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] K3 Serial Port Connections
How do you connect a K3 to antenna rotator, a computer, a transceiver controlled amplifier and a stepper transceiver controlled antenna via the one serial port on the K3? Thanks.
