[Elecraft] KPod and Digout1

2016-08-07 Thread Jim Miller
Looks like the Kpod could be used to control Digout1 via the MP command in a macro. If so that would give another controllable output in addition to the three on the Kpod itself. That looks like it will be useful for my K3s station configuration. Trying to eliminate miscellaneous little boxes

Clay, The cable is 5 (active) parallel wires, no twisted pairs. Yes, you can probably construct a cable with twisted pairs that would work well over a much greater distance, but that is only a guess at this point. Why not give it a try and report your results. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/16/2016

It is a 6-pin connector and the wire at pin 1 should be cut at the radio end and to be safe cut it at both ends. Yes, people will use full 6-pin cables and may not observe any problems. Regardless of such anecdotal evidencee, cut the wire to pin 1. And of course, turn off the radio before

I suggest cutting the wire connected to pin 1 at the radio end. Can't hurt to cut it at both ends. Otherwise, there is a possibility of the radio doing things you prefer it to not do, probably precisely when you prefer that it not do those things... The function associated with pin 1 is not

This is a perfect application for the K-Pod macro buttons.  If the K-Pod had dedicated controls that satisfied most users, it would be a K3 front panel. As is, the K-Pod is small so it can be conveniently located and completely user-definable for each individual's needs of their most critical
