The proper splitter is available from:
www.cablewholesale.com p/n 10H1-27708
www.altex.com Philmore 70-568
Splitters from both sources are "all 15" and the same as the splitter
included with the KPA3AUX cable kit or the E980190 "Extra DB15 Y-cable"
listed with the KPA500 and K3.

Hi Joe,
I didn't see a response to your good question, so here goes one:
Yes you can use a standard 15-pin Y-cable splitter to split out signals you
need, for example the DIGOUT1 for switching on the PR6 or to input FSK keying
signals to the K3. The key thing is to make sure the cable between one side of
the splitter cable to the KPA is the KPAK3AUX cable.
You won't be able to use the splitter you found that is missing pin 9 as that
is the BAND 2 data that the KPA uses to determine which band the K3 is on.
I've had good luck with cables from www.winford.com. They also have a neat line
of break-out boards for 9-pin and 15-pin cables. (I don't have anything to do
with the company, but even if I did so what?)
If you are going to add the KAT500 you can use a full 15-pin cable between the
KAT and the KPA as long as the KPAK3AUX cable is between the K3 and the KAT.
Cheers and 73,

Subject: [Elecraft] PR6 ctrl line
I have an Elecraft molded cable between the K3 and KPA500 acc ports.
Can I
use a VGA 'Y' splitter to connect the PR6 ctrl wire to the acc
connector on
the K3? I found one on the inet that says it is wired thru except for
pin
9. the male end of the Elecraft acc cable has pin 9 (and others) cut
off.
Any ideas?

With enough THRUST pig fly just fine.
