Fb Jonny. I believe the same cable works. I use my transverter cable as an RS-232 "extension cord" between my computer RS232 port and the K3.
Yes, the K2 "AUX" connector is not a true RS232 port. But the three wires used in the cable are compatible with either the AUX port or an RS232 port. They have the three basic lines needed for most communications. The real danger is in hooking a full RS232 cable to the K2 AUX port. That often results in damaging voltages being applied to the K2 AUX port because, other than the three lines + ground shown in the transverter cable, some of the other connections are not the same as used in normal RS232 busses.

Yes, I did read p.9 of the XV144 operation manual. However, it only shows the interface cable from XV144 to KI02 of K2 and NOT K3. >From reading of the K3 manual, the RS232 socket has a different usage >in K3 and the wiring is not similar to KI02. Is my understanding >correct? If yes, where can I find similar diagram as that in p.9 of >the XV144 manual for building the interface cable between XV144 and K3. cheers, Johnny Siu VR2XMC --- 2008年6月27日 星期五，Ron D'Eau Claire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ��道�s > 寄件人: Ron D'Eau Claire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 主�}: RE: [Elecraft] how to build interface cable between K3 and XV144 > 收件人: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "'Elecraft'" <[email protected]> > 日期: 2008 6 27 星期五 下午 11:03 > Hello Johnny: > > You should have received the "Elecraft Transverter > Models XV50, XV144, > XV222, XV432 Owner's Manual" with your transverter > kit.
