[Elecraft] Made a DB15 cable to connect K3 + KAT500, but now Amp is disabled

[zl2ke]

Hello Dick and Iain,

With reference to my reply to Iain's post, I forgot to say that I did
unplug the RCA cable from the K3's Key Out, but the amp still did not work.
I did leave the RCA cable plugged into the KAT500 - not sure if this would
make a difference.

Dick, I am not sure if I understand what you wrote, in particular:
"Thus, you cannot use one RCA cable and one 15-pin cable."
Does this mean that if I use the DB15 cable between the K3 and KAT500, I
should
then completely remove the RCA cable between the two units?

BTW, my desk space is limited, with a PC LCD screen directly above the K3
and a shelf
above the screen, and the result is that I have to contort to fiddle with
wires and plugs.
Furthermore, the DB15/VGA plugs do not have finger-thumb screws but instead
I have
to use a screwdriver, so this adds to the task of fiddling with plugs and
wires.
My wish is that Elecraft would have a longer DB15 cable available so that
others with a
side-by-side K arrangement do not have to  make their own cable.

Thanks for your help.  73  Steve   ZL2KE
