Re: [Elecraft] Band decoder and Tx Inhibit
I confirm the TopTen Band Decoder works fine with my K3, Andy. Chris G3SJJ Andrew Faber wrote: Chris, Good luck with it. I have the TT Decoder powered by an independent 12 volt source.

Only issue is that the Mic and Headphone jacks on the back are pretty frail and don't make very positive contact sometimes. 73, andy, ae6y ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Band decoder and Tx Inhibit
I wondered if any has connected up a TT Band Decoder to the ACC socket yet. I am just about to make up a suitable cable. Also theer was some discussion somewhile back about TX Inhibit for connecting to amps. Anyone done this. I see it needs an external +5v source. On my FT1kMP use the band data out socket f for my TT Decoder and pick up +12v from there, also amp relay switching. Would have been nice on the K3!

Re: [Elecraft] Band decoder and Tx Inhibit
Chris, I have my K3 hooked up to a Top Ten Yaesu decoder, and it seems to work fine. You need to connect 5 wires: the four BCD outputs and ground. Once I figured out the pin numbering it was straightforward (Pins on the ACC jack are numbered 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 from right to left and top to bottom, looking at the radio from the back). 73, andy, ae6y - Original Message - From: G3SJJ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Elecraft elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 11:46 AM Subject: [Elecraft] Band decoder and Tx Inhibit I wondered if any has connected up a TT Band Decoder to the ACC socket yet.

Re: [Elecraft] Band decoder and Tx Inhibit
Greg, I don't know. I took them out of the connector box that I have. I assume they are 1/8 inch. Doing some quick math says that if plugs are exactly 3.5mm, they would be a little thicker.
