[Elecraft] K3 and Y-cable E980190

[Jukka Kulha]

Hi Joe et all,

Thanks for all of the answers!

Its clear now; there is Y-splitters which are not OK for K3 usage as all 15pins should be wired 1:1, and this not the case with all VGA Y-splitters.

Good thing is that there is also available those which are OK, but should be checked first that they are 1:1 whith each of the pins.

Also one good product is the "breakout board", which could be esily wired for diffrent purposes.

I think I will get one Y-splitter and also breakout-board for test purposes.
