Re: [Elecraft] K3 users with SteppIR interface

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Larry,

Don't worry, you're not breaking any new ground. You will need a few items.

You'll need a Y cable and an S-13 cable from SteppIR or you can make your
own. You may also need a 9 pin extension cable depending on how close
together all of your components reside.

The SteppIR controller must have the transceiver option. Choose Kenwood in
the menu setting.

You also have to make a configuration change on your K3.
CONFIG:AUTOINF to AUTO 1

If you are a member of the SteppIR Yahoo group you can find PDFs for these
cables in the Files section. The Y cable PDF does a good job of illustrating
how to use it. If you are not a member it would probably be a good idea to
join.
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/SteppIR/info

You can also e-mail me directly and I can send you the PDFs.

73,

SteppIR should be supplying you a "Y" cable so it can "listen" to freq traffic 
on Serial Port.

[Elecraft] K3 users with SteppIR interface

[Larry Wassmann]

Ok, guys, I will be getting a new 3 element SteppIR soon. I have a K3 and a P3. 
I want to use the SteppIR interface to have the antenna track frequencies as I 
turn the dial. I used to do this on my old Pro 3 with the SteppIR I had about 4 
years ago. As I understand it, you connect the SteppIR interface cable to the 9 
pin port on the back of the K3. Problem is that I use Ham Radio Delux and there 
is already a cable from the computer to the K3 using that port. I would like to 
continue to use HRD but would also like to use the SteppIR interface. Am I 
between a rock and a hard place? Any help, anyone already solved this problem?
