Re: Elecraft K3S (RJ45) and SPE Expert PA
I made a couple of detailed videos on this topic... the first one is specific to the 2K-FA and building your own interface cable and the second one is sharing the K3/S CAT feed across multiple software applications and hardware, 2K-FA or other hardware that can read the K3/S CAT data in your case. You can jump ahead 10 seconds or back 10 seconds on YouTube with the 'J' and 'L' keys... I'm not known for short videos!

Re: HRD Connects but no ports K3 UTILITY
Fixed a work around for the K3 Utils port selection.. The problem occurred only in K3 Utilities. Worked OK with Win4KSuite & HRD but not with K3 Utilities. I also have additional ports assigned to ICOM IC-7610. Disabling the IC-7610 ports and running K3 Utilities and the ports drop down selection is back. What a pain running down that problem.

Re: Elecraft K3S (RJ45) and SPE Expert PA
David Robinson
Yes it is, thats how I do it. I found lots of designs for connecting K3 to the spe but no k3s to the spe, so I had to work it out myself
I just needed a screened ethernet cable which i chopped one end off and a dbe-15 plug It works great and has the advantage of the spe knowing which band SEGMENT is on and prechoosing the atu settings Will scan my wiring and upload later Dave G4FRE

FS OBO : KXV3
Bob Patten
I recently upgraded my old K3 with a KXV3B Xverter I/O, RX Ant I/O module and no longer need the KXV3. If anyone can use it, I will at least need to collect shipping cost. A small donation wouldn't be refused. :-)

HRD Connects but no ports K3 UTILITY
Using FTDI latest drivers. 2 years no problems. Starting HRD with same settings as in the past. No Problems. Close HRD - Start K3 Utilities and there are no ports displayed in the drop down. Restart computer go directly to K3 Utilities, no ports. Remove K3 Utilities, restart, Load K3 Utilities, restart, No ports. Delete port & drivers, restart, same port show same drivers. No ports K3 Utilities.

I've had a few folks request the wiring diagram via email. I'm good on QRZ, but I do have an ARRL address for those that would like a copy of my wiring diagram.

Thanks for the reply.
It is the K3S end, I am not sure what to do. I did find a RS232 -> RJ45 cable for my K3S, so I expect that I can use that.

Re: Remote On/Off KPA1500
KPA1500 Remote will indeed turn the amp on and off. Yes, it takes some screen space but that is well worth it to avoid “flying blind” running 1500 watts with no indication of what’s going on except transient fault and warning messages in the K3 VFO B area that you may not be watching full time! Or completely blind if you’re not using a K3. I need a secondary monitor to run N1MM logger anyway, so there’s plenty of room for KPA Remote. 73, Rick N6XI -- -- Rick Tavan Truckee, CA

Re: Remote On/Off KPA1500
Bob Patten
There are times I prefer to operate without the amp when operating remote. Since my eight channel relay switcher can accommodate the function, makes sense to me to use it for powering the amp on/off independent of the K3. If I used the K3's 12V jack, then I would have to use the KPA1500 Remote software to switch between OPER/STBY. Why make it more complicated than it needs to be?

Using the USB connection, you can turn the KPA1500 off and on as well has control most functions. Used it over the last 6 weeks running remote from Florida back to my station in Illinois. Haven't played with the Ethernet connection yet.

Elecraft K3S (RJ45) and SPE Expert PA
OZ0J Joe
Hi
I do have an Elecraft K3S with a RJ45 plug for the RS232.
I would like to connect my SPE Expert 1,3K FA so the K3S sends band data to the Expert PA.
I will connect the K3S to my laptop via the USB cable.
If it is possible, how do I connect to the SPE Expert PA to send band data to the SPE PA?
73, Joe OZ0J

Re: Remote On/Off KPA1500

Bob,

Use the 12v switched 1.0A Max RCA phono jack on the back of the K3 and connect it to the Rem phono jack on the KPA1500. You will need a male - male cable. With this setup, whenever you turn on or off the K3, the KPA-1500 will follow suit. Look at the last paragraph on page 19 of the 1500 manual. It describes the operation better Best regards, Jerry, W1IE

Re: Remote On/Off KPA1500
Charlie Wirth
As far as I understand it the remote software will not turn on the amplifier. I am not using a K3 therefore I cannot use the 12v jack to connect to the remote jack on the 1500.
What I thought I would do is use a 12vdc, 500mA wall wart connected to a web enabled power strip. I can use the remote software once the amp is powered up.
