You will need the Y cable to connect MK2r+ (FSK) and the Band Decoder
at the same time unless you elect to drive thee band decoder from the
MK2R ACC jack.

Configure the K3 and MK2R+ for 38,400 bps. Connect the DB37-EL-K23
RS-232 plug to the PC jack on the P3, connect the RS-232 jack on the
P3 to the RS-232 jack on the K3.

You are correct - KIO3BUPKT is useless with an external interface/sound
card.

*NONE* - the N1MM+ DVR is much more flexible than the limited number
of stored [fixed] messages in the KDVR3.
does the answer to this question vary based on whether or not the

No.
4. If some day I decide to also get a K3S as my other SO2R radio,
arethere any options that would become required
None.

Hi all,
I am the proud owner of my first Elecraft radio, a used K3 that I purchased a
couple weeks ago. So far, I am very impressed with the receiver, and with how
well thought out the features are. As I write this, the rig is on its way to
Elecraft for the KXV3B and Synthesizer upgrades.
I do SO2R contesting with an MK2R+, and will be replacing one of my beloved
FT-1000MP's with this new K3, thanks to the inspiration from a friend who
complained loudly about my key clicks last year
.
I have already picked up a Microham DB37-EL-K23 cable, and I know I need a VGA
splitter (one male, two females) to connect the P3 and the TopTen band decoder
simultaneously.
I assume the CAT control should be able to work through the P3 to control the
radio, though I haven't gotten it to work yet. (User error, I'm sure.)
My questions are:
1. I was planning to NOT add the KIO3BUPKT I/O upgrade, because I figured it's
not necessary if I am using the MK2R+ as my DVK. Is that correct, or am I
missing something?
2. How would I be able to tell if the KDVRS is installed? The seller said in
his listing that the radio has the KDVRS, but I just noticed as I was writing
this that the original invoice doesn't show a KDVRS. Since the seller says he
never modified the rig, either his listing or the invoice was wrong, but I
don't know which.
3. When contesting with N1MM and an MK2R+, what purpose would the KDVRS serve?
And does the answer to this question vary based on whether or not the KIO3BUPKT
is installed?
4. If some day I decide to also get a K3S as my other SO2R radio, are there any
options that would become required in the K3 in order to use the two radios
side-by-side sharing a single MK2R+? (Specifically I'm wondering about the
KIO3BUPKT and the KDVRS, but do the two rigs need to have those things or any
other things in common?)
Thanks and 73,
John W2ID
