The K3 requires all 15 pins be wired through and none connected together. From the archives, here are two sources of known, good cables:
The full DB15HD Y cables available from: www.cablewholesale.com p/n 10H1-27708 www.altex.com Philmore 70-568
The last time this question was asked, I checked both Altex and Cable Wholesale and the cables were listed for $7.99 and $3.98 respectively. An alternative approach are breakout boards from Winford Engineering:
http://www.winfordeng.com/products/cat_brk.php the BRKSD15HDM-C is particularly interesting: http://www.winfordeng.com/products/brksd15hd.php Winford also have a board with one male DB15HD, one female DB15HD, a 16 position terminal strip and five solder connection holes per line: http://www.winfordeng.com/products/brk15hdmf.php BRK15HDMF-S-FT (with mounting feet) is $22.00. BRK15HDMF-S-DIN (for DIN Rail mounting) is $23.00

Hi all, Can someone confirm if the K3 Y-cable/E980190 is similar as standard VGA y-adapter ( e.g. in below link) or is there some differences from wiring point of view? http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Monitor-Splitter-Foot/dp/B005H3I38G 73 de Jukka - OH2MA ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
