RE: [Elecraft] how to build interface cable between K3 and XV144
Hello Johnny: You should have received the Elecraft Transverter Models XV50, XV144, XV222, XV432 Owner's Manual with your transverter kit. It's separate from the assembly manual. See page 9 of that manual for the details. If you don't have it, it's available for download here: http://www.elecraft.com/manual/XV%20Transverter%20Owner's%20Manual-D.pdf Ron AC7AC -Original Message- Hello Group, Both the K3 and XV144 manuals do not give the details to build an interface cable between K3 (with KXV3) and XV144. Can anybody help and show me where to get the information? TNX 73 Johnny Siu VR2xmc ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] how to build interface cable between K3 and XV144
Hello Ron, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I did read p.9 of the XV144 operation manual. However, it only shows the interface cable from XV144 to KI02 of K2 and NOT K3. From reading of the K3 manual, the RS232 socket has a different usage in K3 and the wiring is not similar to KI02. Is my understanding correct? If yes, where can I find similar diagram as that in p.9 of the XV144 manual for building the interface cable between XV144 and K3. cheers, Johnny Siu VR2XMC --- 2008年6月27日 星期五，Ron D'Eau Claire [EMAIL PROTECTED] 寫道﹕ 寄件人: Ron D'Eau Claire [EMAIL PROTECTED] 主題: RE: [Elecraft] how to build interface cable between K3 and XV144 收件人: [EMAIL PROTECTED], 'Elecraft' elecraft@mailman.qth.net 日期: 2008 6 27 星期五 下午 11:03 Hello Johnny: You should have received the Elecraft Transverter Models XV50, XV144, XV222, XV432 Owner's Manual with your transverter kit.

Re: [Elecraft] how to build interface cable between K3 and XV144
Johnny Check the reflector archives for the past 3 days. The cable wiring required was discussed then in several posts. 73, Don W3FPR Johnny Siu wrote: Hello Ron, Thanks for your reply.

RE: [Elecraft] how to build interface cable between K3 and XV144
Johnny, we are not talking about the same thing. I said I used the cable described in the Transverter owner's manual to connect between the RS232 port on the K3 and my computer. That's true. However, the K3 does not use the same connector for transverter control. It uses a DB-15 connector so you do need a different connector and pin connections at the rig end. Obviously, I haven't had a chance to try interfacing my transverters to the K3 yet. The Transverter Owner's manual has not been updated since the K3 was announced. As Don W3FPR noted, there apparently have been a number of e-mails on the subject on the reflector. Hopefully a search of the archives will give you what you need. My apologies for the confusion.
