The basic issue is that the DB-9 connector on the K2 does
double-duty.
True enough. Then Ron D'Eau Claire wrote:
RS232 is a signaling protocol, not a cable pinout scheme.
Correct. Then the principle designer, N6KR, wrote:
We didn't have room for two connectors.
The K2 is a very compact radio, leading to some packaging compromises.
As it evolves, we improve things; e.g., the series resistor we added a
couple of years ago to the control board to mitigate the most common
serial I/O signal conflict.
We appreciate everyone's input and patience on this and other topics.
