Re: [Elecraft] KRC2ACC with K3 and Navigator an P3

Don, does the Y connector Elecraft sells work for this? I have on order a KAT500 and a KPA500. I can't quite figure out what the KPAK3AUX does, but will that address the problem? Here is the long-term plan. I want to operate this station (in Maryland) remotely from our home in Key West. I

Brian, Yes, the Y-cable supplied by Elecraft will work. The KPAK3AUX cable set contains that Y-cable. They are also available from other sources with all 15 pins wired straight through - the more commonly available VGA Y-cables will NOT work. I think the instructions for the KPAK3ACC reveal

One option for dealing with the different baud rate speeds of the P3 vs. the KRC2 is a baud rate converter, such as seen here: http://serialgadget.com/ One could also roll one's own, with the appropriate skills. Also, if you are going to monitor the remote system via webcam, proper antenna

Hi all, OK, I have built my KRC2ACC, and it passes all the tests. I have built the special cable for use with my K3. Now am stumped again, so I am hoping someone can baby-talk me through this. I use a Navigator interface for digital modes. That occupies the ACC jack of the K3. I use a P3

Brian, The recommended K3 to KRC2 communication is to use the AUXBUS signalling for band signalling. The AUXBUS signal is on pin 2 of the K3 ACC connector with the return path at pin 5 (ground). You can get a Y connector to bring the ACC signals out to both the Navigator and the KRC2ACC.
