[Elecraft] K3 - Accessory Jack - How Many Wye Cables?

[Oliver Dröse]

I have up to 5 devices fed in parallel with the same BCD sigs from my K3 
(my KPA500, a 5B4AGN TXBPF, my 10x2 homebrew antenna switch, a homebrew 
sequencer that also splits PTT between HF & VHF based on BCD and 
sometimes an additional homebrew banddecoder, too). So no problem at all 
to parallel things as long as the devices used are designed correctly, 
i.e. inputs isolated and thus no "feedback" to the other devices.
