Simplest fix: Bend pin 4 in the male connector back and forth until it snaps, and stuff a toothpick in hole 4 of the female connector. Your special Elecraft cable will still fit, "normal" rs232 cables cannot accidentally be plugged in - at least not easily. Pin 4 is not used by any Elecraft accessories - they seem to have decided that it was better to use AUXBUS rather than using the ALC line for external power metering. -- "Nosey" Nick Waterman, G7RZQ, K2 #5209. use Std::Disclaimer; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Where there's a will, I want to be in it. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
