Ken,

I believe the radio will not take direct RS-232 input, but it needs TTL levels derived from the RS-232 signals. I ordered a serial port programming cable from Powerwerks and when it arrives, I can tell you the relationship. In the meantime, I cut the USB end off the existing cable and trashed the USB end. Be careful what you buy since Prolific and FTDI have both updated their drivers to detect the counterfeit chips.

Hi Don and the group

Could you give us the information on which wires of the Wouxun cable go to 
which pins on the DB9 connector so I can use the USB adaptor for my K3 to 
program my hand held. I have only 3 computers all using Windows 8.1 and so far 
a work around but haven't used it for a month so don't know if it is working 
today or next time I need it. Please respond here on the reflector as I know 
other people need this information just as I have for almost 2 years. If 
possible it would be nice to use the KX3 USB adaptor also.
