[Elecraft] running computer connection while KXPA100 concurrently

[Don Wilhelm]

Brian,

With the KX3 and KXPA100, you should be using the optional KX3 to 
KXPA100 Adapter Cable (KXPACBL) connected as shown on page 14 of the 
KXPA100 manual.

You will then connect the KXUSB cable to the KXPA100 RS232 jack to 
communicate with either the KX3 or the KXPA100.
In other words, only one connection to the PC.  The KXPA100 jack is a 
replication of the KX3 ACC1 jack.

That will suffice for the rig control portion of NaP3.  In addition, you 
will need the connection to the soundcard from the RX I/Q jack for the 
spectral display.

73,

>>From my reading of the manual.. if using the KXPA100 I have to run two cables from ACC1 and ACC2 to an adapter box that then goes to the Control input on the KXPA100. If I am therefore using the ACC1 port for the KXPA100.... I don't have the port available for the computer to see the KX3 info.. right? Therefore NaP3 has no rig or frequency info to use.
