Compatibility with Other Products
Here’s how to use the SideKar with other products.
For the Elecraft products, in general, it is connected as
the last device in the serial (ACC1) connection chain.
PX3
– connect the SideKar to the ACC1 (PC) port
on the PX3. For the SideKar to display decoded
text from the KX3, the text decode function on the
PX3 must be turned off.
SideKX End Panels
– SideKar is compatible with
SideKX end panels. There is no need to remove
them.
KXPA100
The KXPA100 works a little differently than the PX3
with regards to other devices in the serial port
(ACC) chain.
Here’s how to use the SideKar /
SideKar Plus with a KXPA100. Tnx to Tim
KD8KYK.
For the KX3 with KXPA100 amplifier,
start with
the KX3 connected to the amplifier as described in
the Elecraft manual.
Then, unplug the KX3-to-
KXPA100 adapter’s 3.5mm
s
erial data plug from the KX3’s ACC1 port.
