[Elecraft] K3S + P3 + SPE Amp

[David Holton]

Gentlemen,

 

My first post to the list , although an avid reader.

Has anyone here done the connection of a K3S plus a P3 Panadaptor with the
P3SVGA and Monitor functions , to a SPE 2K Amp?

Is there special cabling?

What Config Menu settings are used?

 

The cable supplied with the Amp is a DB15M (amp end) to a DE9M (K3S end). I
am using this in conjunction with the Elecraft  Cable E980297 which is an
RJ45 to DE9 Female. Config menu is set to RS232 at 9600 Baud , this works
fine and the amp follows the K3S.  However I lose the Frequency readout on
the P3 by having to disconnect the CBLY3Y Y cable at the RJ45 connector on
the back of the K3S. If I connect the DE9m of the supplied Amp cable to the
DE9 of the "Y" cable , when plugged into the K3S , amp will not Band change
from K3S.

 

Is there another method of cabling so as One does not lose control of the
P3?

 

Thanks & Regards

David
