XTS3000 KVL cable/adaptor

[KC9UZB]

I've got a keyloader coming soon - it comes with cable and hirose adaptor for a Saber.

To load my 3k, do I just need this off ebay?

or will I need anything else?

Does anyone have one cheaper than $80?

(Sorry for the noobish questions, what do you expect from an Island monkey? )

That's Escomm's ad


Unless you find one used, I doubt you'll get one cheaper as an end user.

I had a feeling it was him.



Ok I guess I ought not to be a cheap ass and get a new one huh.

If you have the generic hirose cable (TKN8531) then you're all set. You might be able to find a used one cheaper. I recall a guy on batlabs from Norway tried to make his own adapter and threw in the towel when he found out the hirose plug was like $40.

Well I guess I'll be getting in touch with you soon, Jeff...

Or you could do it the hard-but-cheap way, and build your own from a junked Jedi speaker mic connector. The board doesn't have spaces for the keyloading pins, though, so you'll have to etch your own or do something -grade with glue and pins or whatever.

Building a Saber keyloading cable is easy, though.

I used a damaged XTS5000 RIBless cable from kawamall - it had all the right holes and tracks and even had enough pins for the job.
