[Elecraft] K3S RS232 "Y" Connector causing port conflict

[Don Wilhelm]

Josh,

You should not refrain from posting information about this amplifier and 
its characteristics.
Perhaps I have monopolized the conversations with basic information 
about RS-232 and its characteristics (and limitations), but I know 
nothing about that specific amplifier.  I can only talk about RS-232 and 
its implications to the K3/K3S.
Since you have experience with that particular amplifier, then your 
comments can be valuable.  What did you do to make it work with the K3/K3S?

73,
