Seth,

I see you have been getting answers about the KUSB which is a USB to serial adapter with a DB9 serial port output.

However, you were asking about a KXUSB which is a "different animal". Yes, it has the FTDI chipset and converts the USB to RS-232, but only the RXD, TXD and signal ground are used - those are fed to the 1/8 inch stereo plug.

If you have some USB to serial adapters (FTDI chipset preferred) , you can construct a DB9 to 1/8 inch cable to mate with a serial port or the serial connector of a USB to serial adapter. The schematic for the connections can be found in the XG3 Signal Generator manual. Download the manual and look at page 30.

Is there a chance one of the dozen programming cables I have laying around is 
same thing electrically as a KXUSB?

I cannot find mine at the moment no matter where I look.  I know I own two of 
them, but I need one now in a bad way.
