[Elecraft] sharing K3 RS232 to CAT and Remoterig

[Matthew Cook]

Jorge,

You can reconfigure your Bandmaster III to use the Yaesu BCD band selector
and get this BCD information off the K3 15-way Accessory connector.

The downside is you will loose 60m and 75m as separate outputs.

You'll need to make a new cable between the K3 15-way Accessory connector &
BM III, page 10 of the BM III manual has the relevant info.

If the 15-way connector on the K3 is used already, you can purchase a
y-cable from Elecraft.
