RS-232 is not a multipoint protocol.

I wonder if anyone has used the USB hub idea to make a multiple port daisy-chained ACC1 interface? So can ACC1 be hubbed? Could I create multiple ports from the KX3 ACC1 combining the PX3, the KXPA100, and my Mac running radio control software? Anyone done that with the KX3 Line?

I use a number of KXSER cables for the DE-9 to 3.5 mm transition. I do test software with a KXUSB, but its FTDI chip set seems equivalent to the Gearmo 4-port adapter. One serial port is used for KX3 + PX3 + KXPA100 , they daisy-chain. One serial port is used for a K3 - P3 daisy chain. One is used for KAT500 One is used for KPA500 One is used for a W2 or LP-100A (telepost) or XG3. I don't tend to use all of these at once. I used to use some ABCD DE-9 switches, but prefer to have them all connected and it's easier to pick the combinations I need at once. There is also the USB hub solution, one hub on your PC might fan out to 4 or 8 USB ports.

I have plentiful Mac USB physical ports (about 8). So the issue is with the KX3. Got no place to plug it in. :—( On Jan 2, 2015, at 3:25 PM, Richard Gillingham <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Sounds like you need a virtual serial port emulator program. 73 Gil, W1RG Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Note® 3, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: David Ahrendts <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Date:01/02/2015 6:14 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Elecraft List <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Cc: Subject: [Elecraft] KX3+KXPA100+PX3 = Outta Inputs/Outputs Got the KX3 Line. KAT500 and W2 also. Love ‘em. Now, I appear to be out of inputs and outputs with little lines running between the boxes and all of the inputs/outputs in use. What do you do to get a KXUSB into the KX3 for radio control from a variety of software programs into an ACC1 PC port? None available. Can the ACC1 port be Y’d?
