[Elecraft] Serial Daisy Chain

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Jim,

No, the KPA500 can not be daisy chained with the K3/P3 serial connection 
via these RS-232 ports.

The KPA500 serial ports are totally independent functions and are -not- 
daisy chain In/Out ports. One connects directly to your PC for firmware 
downloads and control via KPA500 utility.  The other is there as a 
listen only port to pick up band data from other radios, like Kenwood, 
that do not provide parallel band data for the KPA500 Aux Port.

73,

Eric
