You are correct, my mistake.   However the antenna selection should follow your radio regardless if you are using remoterig or not.

Hi John

 

thanks for the information

 

N6TV Y box will work for ACC port, but I need something equal for RS232 port

 

I use a Y cable to ACC to drive bandecoder and amplifier and works fine

 

thanks,

Jorge

I use a Top Ten Band decoder to control a SixPak. This is connected to the
RS-232 jack. I often have other devices(such as a MicroHAM DigiKeyer2) also
connected to this jack using a N6TV Y-box. For two devices you can use an
inexpensive Y adaptor instead. I have no experience with a remoterig box.

Hello

At my station, I have Elecraft K3, Bandmaster III, SixPack, CAT cable
connected to K3´s RS232

So when I change bands in the radio, antenna is selected automatically
through CAT cable and band decoder (Bandmaster III)

Today I connected remoterig box, so needed to remove CAT cable to connect
remoterig.

So now I lost the feature to change antennas automatically when I change
bands on the K3

How can I do to share RS232 to have CAT and remoterig at the same time?

thanks,
Jorge
