New guy here with a question. I am about to get a KAT-500 to mate to my IC-7300. In searching for the Molex connector I need to make an interface cable for the radio to the tuner, I came across the MFJ-5124I cable which MFJ sells to mate their 99* series auto-tuners to Icom radios. The connectors on the tuner end are the same as used on the KAT-500. The wiring is the same with one addition. Where there is no ground connection from the sleeve of the 3.5MM stereo plug specified in the KAT-500 manual, the MFJ cable has the sleeve connected to the ground pin of the Icom connector. Seeing the that the sleeve of the 3.5mm stereo connector on the KAT-500 is chassis grounded anyway I think I can use the MFJ cable to interface my KAT-500 to my IC-7300. Does anyone see the flaw in my thinking? (about the cable, not the radio) de W5CPT ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
