[Elecraft] KXPA100 RS-232 problem

[Thomas Beltran]

I have read some emails concerning the RS-232 connector on the KXPA100's
back panel not working with software applications that need the rig's data,
but I did not see any resolution.  In my case, I just set up a ciro mazzoni
midi loop.  This loop will follow the radio's frequency, getting data from
the rig.  Unfortunately, the loop's control box only works automatically
when the the RS-232 connector from the control box is hooked directly to the
KX3's side panel, meaning I can only run 10 watts.  BTW, there is a slight
delay in setting the frequency, but loop works pretty nicely.  However, it
will not work when plugged into the RS-232 connector on the KXPA100's back
panel.    If it makes any difference, the loop control box uses a DB9, so I
am using the KXSER (3.5mm to DB9-F) Cable.  Hopefully, someone on this list
has not only encountered this problem but has a remedy.  Thanks in advance.
