Larry,
The cable only needs to contain pins 2, 3 and 5 (TXD, RXD and Signal
Ground). They should be wired straight through (nor crossover).
Everything on K3 Utility is greyed out because the communications with
the K3 is not complete.

Hi Pierfranceso:
I didn't know what it was but it seemed unusually light.
It worked better than the original but it din't work.
I looked up the part number and a Russian web page
show it was simple cable with no parts and strange connections.
I knew they were strange but not this strange.
I'll get or make a real cable tomorrow if I can.
Otherwise I'll get it from ebay or elecraft.
Thank you for you for your concern.
Larry

if with "APC connection cable" you mean the ones used on UPSes by APC,
be careful that they are not plain rs232, they have some circuitry
molded in the connector. At least mine does.
