[Elecraft] K3 users with SteppIR interface

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Larry,

Don't worry, you're not breaking any new ground. You will need a few items.

You'll need a Y cable and an S-13 cable from SteppIR or you can make your
own. You may also need a 9 pin extension cable depending on how close
together all of your components reside.

The SteppIR controller must have the transceiver option. Choose Kenwood in
the menu setting.

You also have to make a configuration change on your K3.
CONFIG:AUTOINF to AUTO 1

If you are a member of the SteppIR Yahoo group you can find PDFs for these
cables in the Files section. The Y cable PDF does a good job of illustrating
how to use it. If you are not a member it would probably be a good idea to
join.

You can also e-mail me directly and I can send you the PDFs.
