[Elecraft] Connecting P3 to a K3

[Dick Dievendorff]

Rich:

The picture you seek is on page 13 of the P3 owners manual, available from our manuals page.

There is an RS232 (serial) connection from Host PC to P3, then P3 to K3.  Also a coaxial BNC cable from K3 IF out to P3, and the P3 needs power, which can be obtained from the K3.  The P3 comes from Elecraft with a short serial cable, coax IF cable, and power cable for the K3 back panel RCA 12V connector.

A Y is typically used for the 15 pin ACC cable.  The P3 is not connected to a 15 pin ACC cable.
