Subject: [Elecraft] K3 interface with N1MM
Good Evening, All
I'd like to interface my K3 to N1MM. Am I assuming
correctly that one needs only connect the rig's RS232 port
to a serial port
on the computer to get full radio control AND CW sending?
--------------------------------
Yes, but you have to be careful when powering up the K3 that
the computer keying line is not key-down, which may happen
if you are not running your logging program at the time.
It's scary when you turn the radio on and it immediately
goes into transmit! I think there is a software change in
the works to prevent the K3 from transmitting when you first
turn it on if the key line is keyed.
Regarding RTTY, can I use a 15 pin video cable with the
correct wires connected for FSK using a DXP38 modem?
You might get away with doing it that way, but the shielding
in a video cable is irrelevant to the ACC connector pinout.
I think you would be better off going to Radio Shack and
buying a plastic hood and male DB-15 and making your own
nicely shielded FSK cable with a piece of RG-174.
