[Elecraft] K2-P3 Interface Project

[Heinz Bärtschi]

Hi Alan,

Exactly! Please let it happen soon!

To speedup the project, I could provide the built K2 IF Buffer Interface with cables/connectors (including the noise blanker if desired). A picture of my installation will be sent to your direct e-mail address.
Ok?

Hi Heinz,

K2 support for the P3 has been on my list for a long time.  I have a K2 with RS-232 interface option and the Z10000 kit which I still need to install.  There are a couple other features ahead of it in the list, but I would really like to get to it.  When it happens, it will only require a firmware upgrade to the P3.

The K3 has several P3-specific commands that don't exist in the K2. That means in particular that fixed-tune mode is not possible with the K2.  Also the K3 uses a special protocol to talk to the P3 which is not implemented in the K2.  However, I think I should be able to get reasonably-good integration between the two so that you can read out the proper frequency on the P3 display, click-to-QSY etc.
