Thanks Tom, On my simply interface I just did not connect the two PTT lines and use the USB to KX3 cable to control the KX3 via CAT. That sounds like good advice and therefore I will leave it disconnected as well, as I certainly will be using the CAT cable at the same time anyway. Yeah, the

Hi Bob, One of the Elecraft guys said they did plan to provide some sort of jumper cables. Maybe even they could provide right angle connectors of the various types used on the KX3. I just decided to not way. and yes, I got the same kind Mouser sells. 73, tom n4zpt On 5/23/2012 3:10 PM, Bob
