Thanks to all …. Taking a closer look and reviewing the KPAK3AUX manual I see that that cable kit (which I have on order) does include the cable itself plus a key-line interrupter and a Y-adapter cable …. So I think I will have everything I need to get properly connected.
I received the “available for shipping” notification from Elecraft late last week and just want to be ready when the KPA-1500 (which was “expected to begin shipping in mid-October” at the time I ordered and prepaid) eventually does arrive at my QTH. 😊 Don, N5LZ Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Don Butler Sent: Monday, February 12, 2018 12:48 PM To: Jim Miller Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Y-Adapter for K3S ACC - KPAK3AUX - KPA-1500 OK tnx again …. I understand .. no VGA adapters ….. Looking closer it looks like the KPAK3AUX INCLUDES a Y-Adapter extension …. So I may be getting everything I need with the cable package?

They don't have a completely pin to pin thru wiring. Just get the Elecraft unit or shop carefully. 73 jim ab3cv On Mon, Feb 12, 2018 at 2:37 PM, Don Butler <[email protected]> wrote: Tnx John …. I guess a better option might be to just buy a VGA Y-Adapter rather than make one up and have to do all that soldering … Don, N5LZ Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 12, 2018 12:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] Y-Adapter for K3S ACC - KPAK3AUX - KPA-1500 Yes a Y will work. I have had a MicroHAM keyer, a Top Ten Band Decoder and a KPA500 all connected to the same ACC jack. John KK9A Don Butler n5lz at comcast.net Mon Feb 12 12:31:13 EST 2018 I've been studying the manual while waiting for my new KPA-1500 to ship ... I see that the KPAK3AUX cable must run from AUX on the amp to ACC on the K3S. In my case I already have a microHAM MK2R+ cable connected to the K3S ACC (providing band data for switching bandpass filters). I'm thinking that I can build a Y-Adapter cable assembly with DB-15s to run from the K3S ACC and split (1) to KPAK3AUX and on to the KPA-1500 AUX . and (2) to the MK2R+ ACC cable. Will that work? Will conflicts with KPA-1500 or MK2R+ be created?
