Hi Don: I will have to verify the cable once it arrives as it was listed as a SVGA Cable but it was fairly cheap and off eBay. I guess only time will tell. To the group, does anyone have a good reliable source for the cable. Tnx. 73 De Mike VE3YF http://www.ve3yf.com ___

Mike, Any "Y" cable that has all 15 conductors connected straight through with none connected to another pin will work. A "VGA" Y cable will not work because it has several conductors connected together. An SVGA "Y" cable should have all conductors independent, but verify that with the cable

Rich, Power up your planned band decoder standalone and measure the voltage at its band data inputs. If you see zero volts (or very close to that), then it will be OK as long as those inputs will not source too much current when the K3 band data lines are low. OTOH, if you measure a voltage

Thanks for all the replies, I plan on connecting a band decoder to the 2nd wye and it only receives/monitors the band data, it doesn't send anything back to the rig. So it looks like a 2nd wye should do the trick. Thanks Rich - N5ZC On 5/12/2014 6:48 AM, Richard Thorne wrote: Currently I h

Rich, I assume you also have a KPA500 in the mix. The problem is not with adding another "Y" cable, but the possibility that the other device will interfere with the band signalling to the KPA500. If that other device has pullup resistors, that can create problems, especially if the pullups are
