Eric,

The connector on the XV transverter series is DE-9 not DB-15.  The 
DB-15s will fit the K3 ACC connector.
Yes, the connectors are normally a daisy-chained Y cable for all except 
the end devices. but I suppose they could be all single cables going to 
a "spider" hub created from Y cables, although it should be tested - 
that arrangement may be more  prone to noise pickup.

73,

I bought a handful of  DB-15 Y-cables from Cable Wholesale (based on a recommendation from this list) and so far they have worked FB   I use one DB-15 to split off PR6 control, another for the XV-144, and one for a top-ten band decoder.  Any reason why I can't add another when I finish my XV-432 and stack it on top of my XV-144?
