[Elecraft] K3 / Data & Remote Questions

[David Herring, K6DCH]

Jim

Yes you will need a different cable for the SL-USB to K3.  I'm not  
aware of one available commercially, but it's not hard to make one. I  
recommend cannibalizing an old twisted pair Ethernet cable. That and a  
few connectors (for line in, line out, and PTT on the K3), and you'll  
be set.  Just remember to match your wiring to the SL's internal  
jumpers (or vice versa).

I prefer to use the SL's hardware PTT wired into the K3, rather than  
VOX, but it's a matter of preference. Either works fine.

For the MLDX you'll need a serial port in the form of a USB-to-serial  
adapter. These have been discussed to death on this reflector, so scan  
the archives and you'll get plenty of input on that.

Gud Luk and 73,
