I upgraded the KIOB3 principally to eliminate the requirement for Multi Port
software.
I have a K3 , P3, SteppIr Interfaced with Logging Software and regularly use
HRD and N1MM+ .
I rebuilt the S13 cable that I had originally built into a S26 cable as
suggested by Steppir. This was accomplished by eliminating the wire from PIN
7 to each connector.
As I have 2 steppirs, I reprogrammed the DIN command to Baud 36400 and the
Transceiver type to Kenwood. The computer is interfaced thru the USB to USB
new cable.
Using the new RG-45 to DE-9S connected to the K3, and my cable made like a
S26 cable to the SteppIr controllers, I was able to gain control of the
SteppIr Antennas with both N1MM+ and HRD Software. SUCCESS I then
connected the DE-9S to my P3 and connected the S26 cable to the PC Out on
the P3 and to the Steppir controller, and again I acquired control of the
SteppIr's with either N1MM+ or HRD. But, the P3 is not receiving the correct
data and is offset about 5 Khz.
OK, so I had the suggested CBLP3Y cable so I tried it connecting to the K3
and connected to the back of the P3 Trans In connector. I had left the S26
cable in the PC out connector of the P3 to the SteppIr's. The P3 is now
working correctly But... I tried to boot up both HRD and N1MM+ and neither
would boot to support the radio. The Steppir's continued to track the
frequency.
I am looking for any suggestions.
I am traveling with the K3 but not a P3 and will be connecting to a 4
Element SteppIr in Hawaii for the CQ WPX contest. That cable package works.
