Hi I tried to use serial port isolator with 5 wires to get better lightning protection. I have 5 of these http://www.ebay.ca/itm/RS-232-serial-port-photoelectric-isolator-/140677527776?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20c108b8e0 with 5 wires dc separation. With my FT5K worked fine but for some reason with K3 is not working. I should investigate closer the root cause, maybe levels or maybe something else, that sounds like a plan for the next "electrostatic" season. THe idea to get separation on serial port makes me feel safer when comes to lightning. 73 VE3GNO Daniel

We're in lightning season again, and while I've done everything I can think of, I live in fear of another U1 failure. -- 73, Pete N4ZR The World Contest Station Database, updated daily at www.conteststations.com The Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com, spots at telnet.reversebeacon.net, port 7000 and arcluster.reversebeacon.net, port 7000 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] 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:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
