[Elecraft] Cables for the K3 to Yaesu Quadra Connections

[Jim Brassell]

I have a quick question concerning the 12 VDC connection between the Quadra and the K3.  I want to use the RF isolated ground of the K3 for the 12 volt connection.  My plan is to connect the RCA plug without a ground connection on the plug and use pin 5 on the accessory plug as the 12 volt ground reference.  There is an RF choke between K3 chassis ground and pin 5 and 12, thus isolating that ground connection.  I don't think that will be a problem.  Does anyone have another view?

Thanks for your time and any comment.
