[Elecraft] K3-0 to K3 Upgrade Kit ???

[Oliver Dröse]

Hi Mitch,

probably a question of what the K3/0 expects. The RRC only puts out 8/9 V. 
If that is enough for the K3/0 (maybe expecting 12 or 13,8 V?) then surely a 
fine solution. ;-))

Voltage *is* available on the AUX/MIC connector, too, as that is used for 
the IC-706 remote head connection. ;-))

Correction....the TTL connector is used to power the remote heads, not
the AUX/MIC connector. I looked at the wrong RRC (a Yaesu Twin one
instead of TS-480) when I wrote that.

So a pigtail or a cable between TTL and the K3/0 would be a possible
solution to an extra power supply for the K3/0?
