Re: [Elecraft] Using the P3 with the SteppIR in tracking mode
They do make a 'Y' cable, and I have one. It connects to the computer's RS232 output, and the K3's RS232 input. There is a 2 conductor offshoot that carries the TXD and ground to the SteppIR controller. If the P3 needed more than that, then I don't think it would work. Or maybe route it from the computer to the P3, and then a cable from the P3 to the K3. Fun to figure out. I'll put in a few hours if someone will send me a free P3.:-) 73, Mike NF4L On 12/9/2010 1:29 PM, Dick Dievendorff wrote: > SteppIR makes (and describes for home brew) a splitter cable designed just > for this, don't they? > > http://www.steppir.com/files/Y%20-%20Cable.pdf > > I don't own a SteppIR antenna, so I don't have any personal experience with > this... > > Dick, K6KR > > > -Original Message- > From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net > [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Mike > Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2010 10:16 AM > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Using the P3 with the SteppIR in tracking mode > > I don't have a P#, so this is pure conjecture.

Re: [Elecraft] Using the P3 with the SteppIR in tracking mode
Doesn't the RS-232 bus daisy chain through the P3? K3 to P3 XCVR in, P3 out to PC or the Steppir controller or what ever 73 Elliott WA6TLA - Original Message - From: "Dick Dievendorff" To: ; Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2010 10:29 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Using the P3 with the SteppIR in tracking mode > SteppIR makes (and describes for home brew) a splitter cable designed just > for this, don't they? > > http://www.steppir.com/files/Y%20-%20Cable.pdf > > I don't own a SteppIR antenna, so I don't have any personal experience > with > this... > > Dick, K6KR > > > -Original Message- > From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net > [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Mike > Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2010 10:16 AM > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Using the P3 with the SteppIR in tracking mode > > I don't have a P#, so this is pure conjecture.

Re: [Elecraft] Using the P3 with the SteppIR in tracking mode
I don't have a P3 but I use the SteppIR Y-cable to connect my K3, SteppIR controller, and computer. The computer is running DXLab's Commander rig control program that polls the radio, and the SteppIR "eavesdrops" to get the frequency. It works fine.

Dick, K6KR -Original Message- I don't have a P3, so this is pure conjecture.

[Elecraft] Using the P3 with the SteppIR in tracking mode
I'm currently using the serial port on the K3 for the SteppIR Yagi to track the VFO. Works fine. Is anyone using the P3 together with the SteppIR in tracking mode? Maybe using a Y-cable?
