Re: [Elecraft] N1MM and keying KX3. What happens to the slashes // Solved
A way to simultaneously interface a paddle and computer to the KX3 -- The KX3 has two paddle inputs - one in the front for the KXPD3 and the other on the left end. They can independently be set to either Hand or Paddles. Yes, if you want to use the front one with anything other than the KXPD3, you will have to create an adapter. Several suggestions on how to accomplish that can be found in the archives. So you can end up with one input for the computer generated code and another for paddles. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/22/2014 4:29 PM, Jim Brown wrote: On 5/22/2014 12:51 PM, Pete Smith N4ZR wrote: I understand that the KX3 does not have the K-3's built in CW and PTT interfaces on the RS-232 port, but it is really trivial to take off the DTR and RTS lines from the RS-232 cable and through a couple of one-transistor, one-resistor interfaces to the appropriate ports Yes, I've built several of them.

Re: [Elecraft] N1MM and keying KX3. What happens to the slashes // Solved
Thanks for the response. The solution is simple. N1MM appears no to support the KX3 (K2 and K3) Command Set in full. If you want to avoid the double slashes // in callsigns, you have to use the standard N1MM key commands and a Keying interface like WinKeyer USB. More to carry if you go portable, but may be easier if you participate in a CW contest. 73 and enjoy the forthcoming WPX CW contest.

I understand that the KX3 does not have the K-3's built in CW and PTT interfaces on the RS-232 port, but it is really trivial to take off the DTR and RTS lines from the RS-232 cable and through a couple of one-transistor, one-resistor interfaces to the appropriate ports 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com.
