Re: [Elecraft] K-3 Arrived. Interface RS232 Serial DB9 cable to USB, or DB9, or other options?
Hi Mark, Congrats on your K3, and welcome to the group! Why don't you want to use the USB port on your laptop? If you only have one, and need to connect more devices, just get a USB hub... ~Iain / N6ML W2OR Mark wrote: > Interface Cable question: The Dell E1405 laptop here does not have a > RS232/DB9 port, and at this time I would prefer not to have to use the USB > port for an interface cable.

[Elecraft] K-3 Arrived. Interface RS232 Serial DB9 cable to USB, or DB9, or other options?
Interface Cable question: The Dell E1405 laptop here does not have a RS232/DB9 port, and at this time I would prefer not to have to use the USB port for an interface cable. The only other ports on the computer are the (a) 15-pin "Video" port, the (b) RJ-45 network connector port, and (c) the RJ-11 modem port. I would think these latter ports are not options, but pls let me know if I'm wrong about that. Comment: This is my first post here, having received the K-3 just yesterday, SN#2001 with several accessories installed. As a closing comment to my first post, let me just say here that Katie and company were great. We need a T-shirt with their pictures on it. I feel privileged to be here as an Elecraft K3 enthusiast along with the rest of you, as it is my belief that the K3 will eventually surpass the legendary fame of the Collins KWM-2. This list has been more than helpful. I have been reading the Reflector for the past four months, with much of camaraderie and encouragement here leading me in the direction of the Elecraft Order page.
