Try LPBridge, at www.telepostinc.com. It's a more-or-less virtual Y-cable. Read the docs first, though. You will probably be stuck with 9600 bps if you choose this path. 73, matt W6NIA == On 5/9/2016 9:25 PM, Jerry Muller via Elecraft wrote: Ok all you great guys. I have a K3

Ok all you great guys. I have a K3 which is hooked to my P3 thru the K3 RS-232 port which is normal and then from the P-3 to the CPU for logging. I now have a MicroHAM Interface III which also wants that RS-232 port. Will a RS 232 Y cable work? That is the first question. The second

I use the macros in DXLabs to do just this, when I select a digital mode macro it turns off the Mic PTT button and sets my BW to 4KHz (actually I set one DXL Commander button to toggle through a few select BWs). Another Macro for SSB sets it back to the settings I want to use for SSB. Probably

Agreed re: Mic button setting, that happens to me all the time. Would it be possible to have it turn it off when switching to DATA A? Also, widening the filter BW out to the full 4kHz at the same time? Perhaps there's other uses of DATA A I don't know that might make these requests invalid, so

Uh, maybe not. If we're talking DC levels, sure, no problem. Low rate signalling just won't matter. At audio levels, the shielding from twisting the wires might be helpful. If we're actually using them for Ethernet, then the twisted pairs aren't wires, they're transmission lines. 100

Hi Dave, Your logic seems correct on the surface, however the CAT5 standard also states the number of twist per pair, and the placement of the different twists, on the ends also contribute to the minimizing of "crosstalk". If you aren't attempting to be strict to the standards, then any
