That's an odd suggestion, Joe; LDG is no more responsible for the
ports on the K3 than Elecraft is for those on the Z100A. They may
have experience connecting a Z100A to a K3, but someone here may
likewise have experience connecting a K3 to a Z100A.
If LDG sell a cable they say will interface their tuner to a K3
they should be able to explain how to connect it and how to use
their product with the K3. Neither Elecraft nor Elecraft users
are likely to know that information as Elecraft have their own
tuner solutions - the internal KAT3 and the external KAT500.
For years I supported third party product(s) with dozen of different
transceivers - Elecraft, Icom, Kenwood, Ten-Tec, Yaesu. The product
was designed to be used with the transceivers when the transceiver
was operated exactly as the transceiver maker documented it their
own Operating/Instruction Manual. The optional interconnection
cable had the appropriate connectors for the transceiver and each
connector was labeled to match the transceiver manufacturer's own
labels.

Greg, you'll need to take a look at the manuals for *both* products and see
what their interfaces look like. Hopefully the needed signals clearly match
up, but if not, feel free to come back to the list with the specific
signals you're having trouble routing or converting.

I have tried to find a cable that goes from my K3 to the LDG Z100A tuner
but all I see is just a cable with a Molex like connector going to the
tuner and nothing on the other end of the K3 except bare wires (i.e. no
connector). Does the tuner have to get connected to the K3 ACC jack? Or
does someone have a wiring diagram so I can marry the correct connections
between the 2 units?
