Title: how do I get band info to my antenna switch now that acc is occupied by rrc?
Post by: W0CP on 2013-11-13, 16:21:24

I have a k3-k3/0 set up going. Previously, I had a switch connected to the acc socket on the k3 to match the antenna to the band. Now, the ACC socket with the band output is occupied by the RRC1258 I/O connection.

How do I get band information to the antenna switch?

Walt,

I use a simple VGA Y-cable to do that. Make sure you buy one with all pins connected.

You can buy them from Elecraft or many other sources, such as from:

I was about to suggest making one by yourself, but for USD 4 don't even get the connectors
