Hello, I have read previous posts from this reflector and instructions from different sources without being able to have my K3 connected to SPE amplifier with CAT.
I have upgraded my K3 (S.N.#4004) with the new KIO3B so I connected my computer (running Windows 10) with the USB cable and the P3 with the CBLP3Y as presented on page 18 of the K3S Owner Manual. Everything is working fine for months. I recently got an Expert SPE 1.3K-FA I am trying to connect to that CAT chain. I read on this reflector I needed to connect a RS232 Y cable plugged to the CBLP3Y, the PC DB-9 port on the P3 and the CAT port on the SPE. This made the connection between the K3 and the P3 not functionning, missing the green and red bars from the 2 K3 receivers on the P3. Then I made another RS323 Y cable, using only TXD to RXD on the SPE side. It was better but the USB port on the PC USB link stopped functioning. On the K3, RS232 is configured as 'USB' and on the P3 the baud rate is '38500'. I used on the SPE both 'Elecraft' and 'Kenwood' CAT settings without any success but if I only connect the K3 and the SPE using the CBLP3Y cable + DB adaptor on the SPE, it works. So does someone have experience with this configuration and can let me know how it should be connected to have it working? Thank you 73, -- Philippe Givet F5IYJ (NK2F) ______________________________________________________________ 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
