Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 cable?
I read in the recently posted manual that the KAT500 includes the PC connection serial TRS cable. But, I did not read thoroughly enough to know whether other cables were included too. 73, phil, K7PEH On Nov 2, 2012, at 5:41 PM, ac...@aol.com wrote: I'm waiting for my KAT500 as well as the optional E850463 cable to ship any day now.

Did I even need to order this cable or will the one that comes shipped with the KAT500 work just fine? Let me know. Thanks.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 cable?
I thought that one cable was included with the KAT500 but if you also had the KPA500 then you needed two cables and thus had to buy an extra one. 73, phil, K7PEH On Nov 2, 2012, at 8:49 PM, Bob Cunnings n...@whitemesa.com wrote: I downloaded the KAT500 manual from the website a few minutes ago, Revision A.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 cable
*Off the Elercaft order page: **E850463* *Optional KAT500 to KPA500 Cable* KAT500 to KPA500 cable. Provides band data to KAT500 for band change prior to TX,, and feeds through KPAK3AUX cable data from the K3 to the KPA500. Typically used in addition to the KPAK3AUX cable from the K3 to route band data, keying and AUXBUS data through the KAT500 to the KPA500. (The KAT500 has AUX Cable IN and OUT connections.) This is the same 15 pin cable as is contained in the KPAP3AUX cable set (see above, under the KPA500). That set also includes a Y cable expansion adapter and a TX line keying interrupt adapter for the K3 to KPA500 link. Seems like a reasonable price or roll your own as they say :-) *24.95* On 9 October 2012 20:58, k5oai k5oai@gmail.com wrote: Now how about a cable for the rest of us K3 users that don't have a KPA500 and just need a cable from the K3 to the KAT500? -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KAT500-cable-tp7563858p7563882.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html -- *Gary* *Start the day off slow, then taper off.* K3 #679 KPA500FT #18 KAT500FT 007 P3 #1629 __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 cable
We just put it onto the order page yesterday. You're looking for the E850468 Optional KAT500 to KPA500 Cable. It will also work as a K3 to KAT500 cable. It's like the KPAK3AUX but doesn't include the Y or Tx line keying adapter that are included in the KPAK3AUX cable set. http://www.elecraft.com/elecraft_prod_list.htm#kat500 You may need to refresh your browser cache if you have a cached older copy of the Elecraft order page. 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of k5oai Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2012 3:58 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 cable Now how about a cable for the rest of us K3 users that don't have a KPA500 and just need a cable from the K3 to the KAT500? -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KAT500-cable-tp7563858p7563882.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
