Well, after following some suggested routines by various on and off list repliers, the problem still exists. Very strange. Any other suggestions before going to the big boys in HQs? Milt, N5IA -Original Message- From: Milt -- N5IA Sent: Friday, December 11, 2015 12:18 PM To:

Re: [Elecraft] K3S RS232 "Y" Connector causing port conflict

Actually, the large mainframe would have been a DTE as well. It is the modem that is the DCE. The specification is really one for connecting things to modems. Initially PCs used 25 pin connectors and they were fairly rare in using them with the correct gender, male (as defined by the pins)

It has not been announced, as also have not some other K3S improvements to be retrofitted to the K3, like the new improved audio board. Rest assured there will be a great, very hard to miss, buzz on the reflector when the rest of the retrofits are available. The word is that they have to get

Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B

The KIO3B upgrade for the K3 is not yet released. Last word from Eric was "late 2015" and the current assemblies are needed for K3S shipments. I'm sure Elecraft has every desire to get it out for K3 owners ASAP! Ed W0YK -Original Message- From: Elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] K3S RS232 "Y" Connector causing port conflict

I am not Eric, but the pins are 1, 2, 6, 8 and 9 - those all might have drivers in the amplifier. I would suggest that you not break off the pins unless you have a cable with formed and sealed backshells. If you can open the backshell, just cut the wires on the 'backside' of the connector.

[Elecraft] K3S RS232 "Y" Connector causing port conflict

Hi Eric, Sorry I'm late replying to your post. If I read your post correctly, the K3S already has the ability to communicate with the computer thru the USB port, AND echo the same data through the RS232 port to the amplifier. In fact, after digging through the CONFIG Menu I found that

[Elecraft] KX3 AGC tip for CW with wide RX filter: Try reducing AGC attack time

I like tuning uncrowded CW segments in a wide receive filter passband--say 2.4 kHz. I recently (10 minutes ago!) discovered that I prefer the sound of this wide passband with MENU:AGC ATK set to 207 instead of 215 (the default value). It may be the particular quality of the noise on 40 meters

[Elecraft] K3 as signal generator

Hi all.The Elecraft manual says that if you have a KXV3 installed, you can use milliwatt-level power output. This is intended for use with transverters, but it can also allow the K3 to act as a very stable, very low-noise signal generator.To route RX and TX through the XVTR jacks on all bands, set

Re: [Elecraft] K3S RS232 "Y" Connector causing port conflict

The pins are normally pressed into the connector. If you can open it, you can usually pull them out. That way you can test non-destructively. OM2500A only uses RxD, TxD. It does not assert any other lines. RTS & DTR are wired straight through, I haven't checked DSR & CTS for continuity. I
