Ed, normally you would need just a standard straight thru male to female
serial cable with just pins 2, 3 and 5 used to go from the PC to the
amp. With some devices, like SteppIR controllers, you also have to
jumper pin 7 to pin 9 at the device end of the cable to provide a
handshaking loopback. The device has to be set for Kenwood protocol,
4800 baud. I don't know enough about the 2k-fa to know if that's
possible, or what connector it uses.

Hello Group
My 2k-fa will be here in a week of so , in preparation I bought 2 ea DB9
Female and 2 ea DB15 male connectors (SO2R)
Here's my setup : K3 connected to computer using LP-Pan and LP-Bridge to
connect to N1MM and NAP3 ... Looking in LP-Bridge , I have a Output Com
Port #1 and #2 and on my computer I have unused DB9 ports .
My question's : Did I buy the correct DB15 connector ? Can someone
please tell me the connection from the DB9 to the DB15 ? I will not be
using ALC or the option to turn on the 2K-FA with the K3 , simply need
the CAT.
#2 K3 and computer will be setup the same.
Thanks for your help
