My take on this is that they wanted to have serial data AND the Elecraft control bus in one cable. As long as you know not to use a standard cable, you are good to go. Just read and follow the directions.

They should have designed it so you could use an "off the shelf" serial cable. Way too much damage exposure. Really seems out of character to the rest of the rig options. 73, Paul _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
