Think of it as a K2 connector that just happens to have two signal lines which work as RS-232 signals - the rest of the pins on the connector are used for controlling external Elecraft gear, such as the KRC2, the KAT100 and/or the XV series of transverters. If you begin thinking (and saying) this over and over again, you are unlikely to make a mistake and fry the K2.
