OM-Power includes TCP/IP support built into the 2000A+ and via an optional control head with the other autotune amps. They use Lantronix XPort. 73, Josh W6XU On 6/19/2017 6:07 AM, Mike va3mw wrote: Another reason to start moving to a LAN based solution as it is so much simpler to share

Another reason to start moving to a LAN based solution as it is so much simpler to share frequency data. If vendors supported it at the box level cabling nightmares start to go away. I'm now running raw socket connections where I can to rs232/ip converters. Mike va3mw > On Jun 18, 2017,

Again, that makes no sense. OM Power supports ELECRAFT directly and provide a pair of serial ports for doing so. No Y cable is necessary (and a bad idea). This is how OM Power describes using their product. It works fine. You're coming up with a workaround for a nonexistent problem. 73,

microHAM has provided "cross brand" support for mixing transceivers and amplifiers for a dozen years or more starting with the original microHAM Band Decoder. Icom has been the default interface for serial (CAT) controls while Yaesu (BCD) has been the default interface for "Band Data" control.

I have no idea where you're getting this idea to interface as if it's a PW-1?? OM Power has supported Elecraft for many years. Why not review the OM Power manual's recommendation before making up an answer? 73 Josh W6XU Sent from my mobile device > On Jun 18, 2017, at 6:37 AM, Joe Subich,

Patch the OM Power between P3 and microham box. TCVR goes to P3 and PC goes to microham. Then select Elecraft and baud rate from the menu. You should immediately see it following frequency on the display. OM Power echoes serial commands through and monitors the data. I don't have your model,

Don is off base when he talks about a system using a microHAM product. Configure your station as shown in the application note "Using the Icom PW-1" at http://www.microHAM-USA.com/support.html The connection diagram for microKEYER II is

Natale, Put the "Y" cable at the PC connector on the P3. As far as how to set your amplifier, I leave that to others familiar with that amp to answer. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/18/2017 5:45 AM, Natale Borghetti wrote: I have installed K3+P3+Microkeyer II and as result I have all the com ports
