Thanks Don. I made my adapter years ago when the KAT500 arrived in my
shack for beta test. It may have been nothing more than designating the
RS232 functions assigned to tip and sleeve. Or maybe I had to ask
someone. In the past, pin assignments for all connectors was in the
manual. It's very disappointing to see this practice discontinued. It
has the effect of turning hams more into appliance operators.
Looking at the XG3 manual, the 3.5mm ring is wired to pin 2 of the DB9
female, the tip to pin 3, and the sleeve to pin 5. Pin 8 is jumpered to
pin 4. My adapter does not include that jumper.

Jim,
The only place I have seen the DB9 to 3.5mm wiring is in the XG3 manual.
It is not in the KX3 or KX2 manuals.

spare round serial adapters laying around to try.
It's pretty easy to make a DB9 to 3.5mm serial cable. Wiring of the pins
is in the manual for the Elecraft gear that uses it, so we can cut
either a hi-fi cable that's laying around and solder it to a DB9, or cut
a DB9 cable and solder it to a 3.5mm plug. I did the former. Works fine.
