There is a description and a picture of an appropriate serial cable in the K3 Utility Help under the index entry "cable".
I've found the several I have at small computer shops. I just found one on Radio Shack's Web Site http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=serial%20cable%20db-9 &origkw=serial%20cable%20db-9&sr=1 Go with a garden-variety 9-pin "straight thru" DB9 male to female cable of an appropriate length. You should prefer screws on the cable connectors so that they can be fastened securely to the jack nuts that appear on the back of the K3 and most PC DB-9 serial connectors. This is typically an inexpensive item, circa $5 to $15. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of NZ0T Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2008 3:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] RS232 cable source In anticipation of my K3 arriving next week I'm tying to find the RS232 interface cable. I'm going to be out of town a lot and pressed for shopping time so I hope nobody minds my asking a dumb question. Where can I get the needed cable - Best Buy, Radio Shack, Wal-Mart? My K2 will now be at the lake cabin so that cable goes with it. 73, Bill NZ0T -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/RS232-cable-source-tp729878p729878.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
