Sam; I would be remiss if I didn't point you at the Elecraft KRC2. It connects to the K3's Aux IO port using the AuxBus data supported by the K3. The KRC2 gives you up to 16 high (normally +12V, but can drive up to 45 volts) and low-drive (sinking to 0 volts), directly controlled by the K3. Take a look at the KRC2 at the Elecraft page.
The Top Ten box should also work with the K3. The K3 supports BCD output on the Aux IO connector that can drive the Top Ten decoder. Of coourse, we want you to use our devices, but if you already have the Top Ten, then you should be able to use it. Manuals for both the K3 and the KRC2, as well as our other products, are available on the Elecraft web site. And you can view them on your computer. You can print them if you really want to, but why use the toner and paper unless you need to? Also, we include a very nicely printed and bound copy of the manual with each product! Enjoy your K3 when it arrives. And remember, if you need help, and the great folks on the email list can't resolve the problem, our support team is just an email away! - Jack Brindle Elecraft Engineering On Apr 16, 2009, at 5:02 PM, k9sd wrote: > I need to get cracking on how and what to use for band decoders on > my soon to be K3... > > > I currently use Top Ten boxes and haven't printed out the manual for > the K3 as my printer is on the blink.. > > > Does Top Ten make boxes for the K3 ?? > > is there a home brew model I can make....saving some $$ isn't a bad > idea.. > > I have to get all my interface cables changed around so when the new > baby arrives it has some place to hook it's little head into..ha ha > > > > Life is good... > > > 73/Sam K9SD > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
