The KXV3a provides the IF tap needed for a panadapter (as well as Rx Antenna and transverter I/O).
You only need a KUSB if you require a USB to Serial Adapter. If your computer has an RS-232 serial port (typically DB-9), you don't need a new KUSB. You will need a "straight thru" 9-pin serial cable to connect from your PC to the 9-pin D shell serial connector on the back of the K3. Details and pictures of the cables are in K3 Utility Help. You can install the K3 Utility and view its Help File ahead of time. Your list is fine for "up and running". I don't know what the free 144OPT100 is, either. I put together a tentative order with a K3/100, KAT3-F, KXV3A, MH2, P3-K and didn't see a 144OPT100. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shane Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2011 12:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] order form questions Maybe I titled this wrong.
