Hi Mitch, probably a question of what the K3/0 expects. The RRC only puts out 8/9 V. If that is enough for the K3/0 (maybe expecting 12 or 13,8 V?) then surely a fine solution. ;-))
Voltage *is* available on the AUX/MIC connector, too, as that is used for the IC-706 remote head connection. ;-)) Vy 73, Olli - DH8BQA http://www.dh8bqa.de/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mitch Wolfson DJØQN" <[email protected]> Cc: "Elecraft Reflector" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2012 10:19 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3-0 to K3 Upgrade Kit ??? Correction....the TTL connector is used to power the remote heads, not the AUX/MIC connector. I looked at the wrong RRC (a Yaesu Twin one instead of TS-480) when I wrote that. So a pigtail or a cable between TTL and the K3/0 would be a possible solution to an extra power supply for the K3/0? 73, Mitch DJ0QN On 25.02.2012 09:48, Mitch Wolfson DJØQN wrote: > Eric, > > Wouldn't the RemoteRig's wall wart be enough to power both the RRC and > K3/0 using a pigtail adapter, or even better though the RRC's AUX/MIC > connector (which I believe you already use anyway to pass the microphone > input to the front panel)? > > It provides 1 amp, in able to power TS-480 and other external heads > using the AUX/MIC connector, as well as the minimal current required by > the RRC.
