That's surprising, but that's OK as long as you don't try to connect two RS-232 transmitters. RS-232 isn't designed for multiple transmitters trying to hold TxD at + or - 12V (or somewhere near there).
So if you depend on that amp polling, you wouldn't want to connect a computer also. 73, Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: Igor Sokolov [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2014 7:32 AM To: Dick Dievendorff; 'Bill Turner' Cc: 'Elecraft' Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [acom-list] Re: Elecraft K3 and ACOM 2000A > I doubt that the ACOM (or the Expert) polls the K3.

Therefore you can probably use it without computer. Actually Expert also got RF sense with freq counter. It compairs the info from CAT with that from the counter and in case of difference the counter info has preference. I do not use that because I always use computer logging anyway. 73, Igor UA9CDC ______________________________________________________________ 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]
