The P3 connects to theK3 via two cables that are supplied with the P3. A BNC RF cable that connects to the IF Out on the KXV3 (or KXV3a), and a RS-232 cable that connects to the K3's RS-232 control port. The P3 has another RS-232 connector that then optionally goes to your PC via a direct connection or the KUSB cable.
A PC is not required as part of the P3's regular operation, except for downloading new P3, or K3, firmware. All P3-K3 communication is hidden from the remote PC. All PC control / logging commands to the K3, and K3 responses to those commands, pass through unimpeded via the P3. Basically the P3/K3 combination is transparent with no changes needed to your external PC control and logging programs. The pair looks identical to the stand-alone K3 from a PC interface standpoint. 73, Eric WA6HHQ --- On 4/15/2010 11:04 AM, [email protected] wrote: > I'm curious how the P3 is connected to the K3.
