This is what I plan to do with my KPA500/KAT500 and the antenna switching device that also needs connection.
Other possibilities are to control the PR-6 "on" another way (some switch other than the DIGOUT1 line) or include the one wire it requires in some other cable. Be cautious of your Y connector supplier. Y cables sold for VGA adapters may not connect all 15 pins in the expected fashion. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of ik1bxn Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 8:08 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] k3-kat500-pr6-DigiKeyer via 2 "Y" cable in "cascade" should be OK ? Hello you all ! Currently I have my k3 connected via an "Y" DB15 cable to KAT500 and cable and PR6. Now I'm purchasing a MicroHam DigiKeyer that needs to be connected to k3 DB15 connector too and uses pins 1-4-5 for FSK and PTT. At the moment I have no place to plug DigiKeyer DB15 connector to. I wonder if it will be correct to purchase an additional "Y" DB15 and connect it in "cascade" to the "Y" I already have. The scenario it should be : 1st "Y" plugged to k3 and having one end to KAT500 and the 2nd end to feed the 2nd "Y". 2nd "Y" will feed PR6 at the 1st end and MicroHam DigiKeyer at the 2nd end. Should it be correct ? Should it create any problem or damage ? Hoping to have been clear enough, thanks a lot for support Best 73 Giorgio - IK1BXN -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/k3-kat500-pr6-DigiKeyer-via-2-Y-cable-i n-cascade-should-be-OK-tp7573626.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
