I've found two (2) ready made cables that may be of interest to K3 owners
when using the ACC Socket. The ACC socket is referred to on page 18 of my
manual as AUX I/O with the caution that this is NOT a VGA video connector!
Well, it sure looks like a VGA connector but alas, no video output from
to fit my
TopTen Yaesu band decoder (which works fine, BTW, with the K3).

Don,
One caveat to this: VGA cables are normally wired as a series of coaxial
cables. So while you may have pin continuity, that continuity may be on a
shield of RG-174/U coax buried in the jacket of a larger cable.
I have found high density 15 pin connectors and soldered to them before.

way to get the correct connections, the correct wire type, and so

Another reason NOT to use the computer-use socket on a ham radio. Tiny
wires, tiny pins, weak strain relief do I need
say any more. Come
