Re: [Elecraft] USB vs RS232 for K3/P3
Steve, The USB connection will allow you to eliminate your external soundcard and the cables to the LINE IN/OUT jacks. It will also eliminate any need for a USB to SERIAL adapter if you are currently using one. You will need to use the CBLP3Y cable between the K3 and P3 instead of the RS-232 cables you are currently using - you said you have the cables, but just checking to be sure you have that "Y" cable. So you end up with only the USB cable, and the "Y" cable between the K3 and P3. Your internal soundcard will identify as USB Audio CODEC, and the internal USB to serial adapter will be assigned a COM port number by your computer (much the same as a USB to Serial adapter would be). 73, Don W3FPR On 8/25/2019 4:35 PM, Steve, K4FJ via Elecraft wrote: I have K3 radios which have been updated with most K3S add-on's, including KIO3B, but I am not currently usingthe USB capability.

Re: [Elecraft] USB to RS232 cable or adapter
While searching for a new hub recently I came across one I had not seen before. I had been using 2 7 port hubs but had ran out of ports on them, yes I have a lot of things on the desk requiring several USB ports. I was looking at the Manhattan web site as I had used them for some time because of their Lifetime Warranty. It was there I found the USB Hub 28 ports total 14 plug in on the top and 14 on the sides. Each port has its own lighted switch so that each port can be turned on or off easily. 4 of the posts are USB3.0 the remaining 20 USB 2.0 your computer does need at least 1 USB 3 port to have them on the hub. I am currently using 18 of the ports and finally able to have most all hooked up at one time. The hub is extremely well built and works perfectly I wish I had found one like a long time ago. It retails for $99 but I found mine online at Amazon.com for $58 free shipping. It you need a large hub with switches to turn ports on or off this is it and as always it has their Lifetime Warranty. 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser # 6730--KX3 # 2573--K2/100 # 6470-KAT100 P3/SVGA--KPA500--KAT500--W2 -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Jack Berry Sent: Monday, July 15, 2013 6:52 PM To: Alan Hawrylyshen; k...@att.net Cc: Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] USB to RS232 cable or adapter I opted for an 8 port adapter.

Re: [Elecraft] USB to RS232 cable or adapter
The below is a post I made to the N1MM Logger group and may be of some interest here. For more detail information, copy the wa8lmf URL in the K3CT post, into your browser. I recently purchased 'my last PC' and it's running on Windows 8 64-bit op system. This new PC, while it has a ton of bells and whistles, it, of course, has no serial or parallel ports. Based on John's post referencing the article by WA8LMF, I went to the Gearmo web page and purchased two of their USA-FTDI2X USB 2.0 to RS-232 converters. Even though I did not ask for it, I received my order the day after ordering it! After removing the eight Com ports automatically loaded on this PC, I configured the two converters for Com 1 through 4 and set up N1MM to operate with my K3. These converters, USB input and two RS-232 DB9 outputs, work excellent with my N1MM setup, both CW and RTTY operation is the same as with my prior PC with internal serial ports. In addition, these converters also work well with my K3 when I am QSO'ing using my old YPlog (QRQ) logging program. I would recommend these converters to anyone upgrading their PC that has no serial ports. 73, Tom - W4BQF * -Original Message- From: n1mmlog...@yahoogroups.com [mailto:n1mmlog...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of John Bednar Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2013 6:28 AM To: n1mmlog...@yahoogroups.com Subject: [N1MM] Another USB to serial article Here is a link to a USB to Serial article that I received this week.

[Elecraft] USB to RS232/DB9 adapter
Hi Chuck, I had similiar experiences with several USB adapters. It seems to be an issue, not just with the K2, but other devices as well. Drivers may help, configuration is important as well. On my laptop, the default com port was com11. Your equipment might be looking for a device on a different com address (ie N1MM looks for com1, but you can set it for a different port). Don's point is important to remember, you still have to use the K2 DB9 cable to interface to the USB adapter. I also found many of the multiport USB devices were useless (or more of a pain to use than they were worth). This is what I found that worked (except I can't use it to send CW via N1MM) with the K2 and my computer: Tripp Lite U209-000-R Serial Adapter - mini USB Type A - DB-9 - male .

[Elecraft] USB to RS232/DB9 adapter
FWIW... I purchased a reasonably priced Tripp Lite U209-000-R Serial Adapter - mini USB Type A - DB-9 - male (U$20) which controls my K2 fine using N1MM. The only caveat I have with this is that it does NOT key the rig (using the simple 2N/1KOhm resistor interface) on CW. From what I hear this is not an uncommon issue with many of the USB adapters. Rather than pull my hair out any further, I bought a K1EL WK2 kit. I've purchased two of his kits in the past and have been very happy with them. No interest in either company, just passing on my experiences. 73, Julius n2wn ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
