[Elecraft] Pig Knob

[Dauer, Edward]

I know the Pig Knob has been discussed on this reflector before, but I
wanted to post a note about it and he who produces it - Nick, N3WG.  I
hooked the knob up right out of the box and --- it did nothing, with
either my K3 or  KX3.  Many efforts at redoing (and following Nick¹s
excellent You Tube videos) resulted in more nothing.  So I sent Nick an
e-mail.  It turns out that the problem was, to use the euphemism, operator
error.  I will spare everyone my recounting the embarrassing details.  But
it is now working exactly as advertised.  Most important, Nick responded
within twenty minutes to my e-mail, helpfully and with assurances that
we¹d get it right.  Great service - suitable for those of us accustomed to
the same from Elecraft.

A question for those who have used the Pig Knob with the K3:  can it be
connected simultaneously with the P3 using a serial-Y connector from the
K3¹s RS-232 port?  Anyone experience any problems doing that?

I have yet to try to set my own configurations for the device.  When I do
I will surely have more questions . . .

Cheers,

Ted, KN1CBR
