[Elecraft] K3, LP-Bridge, SteppIR BiggIR antenna

[Don Wilhelm]

  John,

Why not connect the SteppIR "Y" cable between the K3 and your USB to 
serial cable.  The SteppIR only monitors the data, and does not send 
anything, so the "Y" cable solution should work fine there without 
involving LP-Bridge.
Set the K3 and SteppIR data rates to the same value - the faster, the 
better for USB to serial adapters.
