[Elecraft] CIRRO MAZZONI BABY LOOP ANTENNA

[Don Wilhelm]

Mark,

You will likely have to gain access to a full RS-232 port by using a USB 
to serial adapter.  Connect that to an RS-232 "Y" cable.  One side of 
the "Y" connects to the RS-232 of your loop antenna, and on the other 
side of the "Y" connect to your KX3 using the KXSER cable from Elecraft 
- or alternately, build your own KXUSB using the schematic shown in the 
back of the Elecraft XG3 manual (download it from Elecraft).

Make certain your loop controller only listens to the RS-232 
communications.  If there are RS-232 drivers in the controller, they 
must be disabled (not just turned off, but disabled by disconnecting 
them or disabling them by the use of Tri-State output devices.

73,
