Using a VGA cable probably won't bring all of the signals out to the end of the pigtail since the VGA standard doesn't use off of them. There are commerical cables using the DB-15 high density connector that bring out all pins, or you can build your own.
It's more fun to build your own. Digikey and Mouser both have the 15-pin male connectors, and they'll also have good quality control cables. 73, matt W6NIA K3 #24 On Sun, 17 Jan 2010 10:07:19 -0800, you wrote: >Hi, > >I am starting to get the my K3 integrated into my station. > >I am thinking about building a breakout box to bring several of the pins on >the ACC connector out to RCA jacks. > >I was wondering if I just hack off one end of a standard VGA cable if the >cable has enough wires in it to get to all the pins on the ACC connector? >Or, get a 15 pin VGA connector and make up my own cable? > >Comments from the K3 community? > >Randy >K7AGE >______________________________________________________________ >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
