Slava,
Thank you for posting the breakout connector. I am always soldering or
crimping DB-9 and DE-15 connectors for shop projects.
Answering your question, I use a Timewave "Navigator" interface here and
built the interconnect cable myself, for PTT IN and FSK keying via the
K3 ACC connector. I normally use solder type DB-9 and DB-15 connectors
as the pins are a bit more stable. I have had some the crimp style
connectors back out on me.
The ICOM gear uses a 13 pin DIN connector and the pigtail is really
short, about 3 inches, so you still need some type of terminal block or
you can just solder splice the connection. The one I received was not
marked but the wires are color coded.
As an aside, the Navigator has been my favorite interface for years and
it provides such trouble free installation and application, that I
highly recommend it. Provided via 6 USB/Serial ports are CAT, PTT,
WinKey (internal to the Navigator), True FSK with compatible radios of
which the K3 is one, an Auxilliary RS232 port always handy around the
shack, and lastly a port to configure the built in, low noise, USB
Codec, FSK parameters etc. It makes all the CAT,PTT, FSK,CW Key,
soundcard in and out rear panel connections to the K3 via a single USB
connection that is very RFI safe.

Hi everyone!
I have a question about the ACC socket on the K3.
I saw on HamNation that Icom IC-7000 gives you this ACC pigtail cable with all
the leads marked, so that you could plug it in and easily pick out the pins you
need to use for whatever it is you're doing.
Does Elecraft have something like that available? I coulThdn't really find
one...
Instead, i saw this thing online:
http://www.winfordeng.com/products/brksd15hd.php
Its a DB15HD breakout connector that gives you screw terminal for each of the
pins (K3 does have the regular Female DB15 High Density, 3-row connector,
right?).
Is that something that you guys are using?
This site seems to have a lot of these sort of connectors...
Thanks!
