Agree. I have done the same for some five years. 
And even if you have the Acom antenna switch and selector you just send one
or two dits and you are on the air at the right antenna.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3s and Acom 2000a

Last year I used an Acom 2000A with my K3S and I only connected the relay
cable and coax to the amp. The amplifier sensed and adjusted itself so
quickly when transmitting that I question what benefit there is to using the
complicated Y cable/computer CAT hookup.

They work fine using the Elecraft Y cables or you can make your own
break out cable that routs the Band Data, Key Out and Aux Bus signals
to the KPA500/KAT500 with the FSK and PTT (key In) pins going to the
microHAM Device.


BTW, I have used an Acom 2000a with a K3S and it worked great just using
the RCA relay cable.


I'm sure Tom is looking for the CAT data (from the RS-232 port) since
that is what the Acom 2000 needs - not "Band Data" (BCD).  That's a
more difficult configuration and would require access to the equipment
to experiment/validate a configuration.  One would expect Acom to be
able to provide the necessary information/support.

Tom,

I am still on K3, but there should be no difference. ACOM 2000A needs
a Y cable too. Or instead of two Y cables make a X cable :). If you
have alredy tried this but not satisfied, just write me directly.

I have two K3S connected to two Acom 200A. I am using the USB
interface to
the computer and running Writelog and Wintest. The P3's are
connected via
the special Y cable on the RS232 interface.

Has anyone successfully managed to control the Acom 2000A with the
K3S?
Please share!
