My K3 back panel RS-232 connector is female. The USB to serial adapter I have is male. The m-f cable I have works fine.
I'm not sure what picture you're looking at. I looked at the data sheet and it wasn't immediately clear to me which gender they were. The K3 15-pin accessory connector is also female. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: John Reiser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 6:13 PM To: Dick Dievendorff; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 f/w updates and Keyspan USB to serial port adapter Hi Dick, I have a serial m-f straight-through cable that has screws on both DB-9s. However, I see from the picture of the K3 rear panel that the RS232 connector is male. I looked at my Keyspan USA 19HS adapter and found that it is also male. So to make it work I would need a f-f serial cable. I think that I should order a KUSB, which is exactly what I was trying to determine. I appreciate yours and everyone's help with this.
