Re: [Elecraft] K-3 External Speaker Issue
Correction: The 2nd link I sent you (Monoprice) is incorrect. It shows 15 pins arranged in two rows. The first link (Windord) is correct, 15 pins in 3 rows. 73, Mike K2MK Mike K2MK wrote > Hi Bill, > > If you Google VGA plug wiring you'll see that not all pins are connected > and some are shorted together.

Re: [Elecraft] K-3 External Speaker Issue
Hi Bill, If you Google VGA plug wiring you'll see that not all pins are connected and some are shorted together. That's probably the reason for it not working. You probably need a DB15 straight through male to female extension cable, not a male/female VGA cable. You can purchase 15 pin straight through cables from assorted suppliers. Here are links to two suppliers: http://www.winfordeng.com/products/ext15hd.php http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10215&cs_id=1021501&p_id=544&seq=1&format=2 73, Mike K2MK Bill Robbins wrote > I bought a Logitech External speaker for the K-3 and it works great. > The woofer is the master unit has a 15 pin socket for connections.

Re: [Elecraft] K-3 External Speaker Issue
Bill, A VGA extension cable has several of the pins connected together (I believe all the shields). Is that possibly the problem? You can buy DE15HD cables that have all 15 pins routed end to end, but that is not a VGA extension cable. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/29/2012 1:22 PM, Bill Robbins wrote: I bought a Logitech External speaker for the K-3 and it works great.
