[Elecraft] K3 CAT connection to SPE Amplifier information needed

[Barry Simpson]

Thank you to all those of you who replied to my earlier query regarding
band data information.

I am now also looking for a way to provide a CAT interface to the SPE
amplifier without using a separate computer program.

My set up is a K3 fully upgraded with the RJ45 serial port which connects
via the Elecraft custom cable to a P3.

Both connectors on the P3 are DB9, ie normal serial connectors.

As such, can I simply insert a further Y cable between one of the P3 serial
ports and the incoming cable from the K3 and then use the extra leg (with a
DB9 on the end) to connect to the SPE amplifier for CAT control ?

Or is that idea too simple ?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks and 73
