[Elecraft] P3/K3

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

Anyone using an USB>RS232 interface between the PC an P3/K3 combo.  I'm 
particularly thinking something like the microHAM Digi Keyer.

I assume the P3 doesn't need any of the RS232 signals other than TX and 
RX and can therefore accept the RS232 out of the Digi Keyer which would 
ordinarily go to the K3 RS232 port.

PTT and keying would be taken care of by the Digi Keyer so the RS232 RTS 
and DTS wouldn't be required.

I have a Digi Keyer and it works perfectly well with the K3 and my 
software; Logger32 and SD (contest) both of which generate perfectly 
acceptable software CW for me.  At present I'm running the the K3 
without any external interface into the PC via RS232 and the PC internal 
sound card.  Not quite so easy to play the sound card levels but workable.

Regards,
