Re: [Elecraft] KX3/W1 Serial cable?
Your W1 serial cable should work fine with the KX3. Some KX3 owners favor right-angle plugs, but it should be OK if the straight-in works for you. I used the same home brew cable for a number of years for development of utilities for the W2, K144XV, KX3, XG3, and KAT500 until I upgraded to a KXSER that has molded connectors. These all use the same 3-wire TxD, RxD, ground connections with a 3.5mm TRS plug. Pinout is in your W1 manual. 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of NZ8J Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2012 10:13 PM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] KX3/W1 Serial cable?

[Elecraft] KX3/W1 Serial cable?
Thanks for all the responses. It works fine, my confusion stemmed from the description in the KX3 manual which described the tip, ring, sleeve connections and then looking at a standard DB9 TXD/RXD pinout it made me think pins 2 and 3 were reversed, in actuality it's just looking at the data flow from different devices. Shouldn't stay up so late I guess.. :) Tim Nz8J __ 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
