Re: [Elecraft] K3S USB RS232 P3 Conundrum

[tom]

Looks interesting but there is nothing about my exact needs, like K3S support 
with the new USB interface, interface with the CAT input of the Acom 2000A and 
interface with Writelog and Wintest, the two programs we use.
 
The other question is that we have 6 K3’s on 3 different computers. How does 
that work? Not sure adding more software is the answer.

Hi,
I’m the author of Win4K3.  You could use win4k3suite.  It will interface to any 
logging program as well as any hardware without Y cables.  Try it.  There’s  a 
fully functional 30 day trial.

Just put my first K3S on line, replacing a K3. For the moment, I am using
the E980297 cable to go to the P3 and then the P3 to the computer. 
I also have a Y at the computer with a cable going to the CAT input to the
Acom 2000A amplifier. Acom says they get serial data from pins 1 and 5, but
the logging program is what talks to the Acom. I have not figured out the
ramifications of this, but I am temporarily not using the K3CAT feature with
the Acom as it has not been reliable.
So, If I wanted to use the USB interface to take advantage of the sound
board options, I could use the CBLP3Y for the P3. But how can I communicate
with the Acom?
Gotta figure this out before I have three K3S talking to three Acom 2000A's
and three P3's!

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Tom,

Ignore the USB interface and connect the K3S/P3 using the RS-232
capability (E980297 cable) as shown on page 19 of the K3S Owner's
Manual.  With that configuration you can use the ACOM interface
the same as you did with the K3 (connection between computer and
K3). Your software will also run with no changes.

73,

  ... Joe, W4TV

Re: [Elecraft] K3S USB RS232 P3 Conundrum

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

RS232 DB9 "Y" off of the computer side of the P3. Make sure you are only 
listening and not hooked up to send data to the P3/K3 via this path.


We basically take the USB comm data between the K3 and the computer and then 
echo it out the RJ45 CBLP3Y connector to the computer input DB9 on the P3. The 
other connector on that cable returns the P3 data to the K3, along with the 
computer data.
