Ingo,

The KXUSB is an FTDI USB to serial adapter with a 3.5mm plug on the serial end. Yes, it will provide computer control of the KX3 through many software applications that support the KX3. That adapter can also be used to allow KX3 Utility to load firmware and do other functions.

If you have a normal USB to serial adapter, you can easily build a short equivalent of the KXSER cable - there is a schematic shown in the XG3 manual near the end.

Hello Elecrafters,


It is possible to control the KX3 via an USB cable named KXUSB. The cable I have is too long for my station, so I always have to roll it in. I could buy a shorter cable. But I don't know if it fits. Is the KXUSB the same as a normal USB TTL converter cable?
