[Elecraft] KX3 SDR MAC

[Michael Blake]

Fred, one of the Apple lightning to USB adapters also contains a female Lightning connector that allows for charging/powering along with the USB interface.  It is called the “Lightning Digital AV Adapter” I believe.

After ordering the adapter I started wondering how to keep the iPad charged when it is powering the sound device..  how do you make that happen, I could not find anything on the web.  Do you know if plugging the iPad into a powered USB hub will charge the iPad, as the iPad would be acting as a host hub..  nothing I could find... ????

>> Fred, If you have the PigRemote it will serve as the RS-232 connection from iSdr to the KX3.  If you do not then then just set the frequency on iSdr to 0 (zero) kHz and the frequency you are tuned to will be at center screen and other signals will be displayed as plus or minus kHz.  It works quite well… very well actually.
