[Elecraft] K2 w/ KAT100 PC control

2021-01-30 Thread Chuck Chandler
I’m looking to build the cable shown on page 25 of the KAT100 manual to allow me to use a PC for logging while also using the KAT100 with the K2 aboard the USS Slater. Anyone recall any pitfalls or DB9 connectors to avoid? Amazon has some cheap ones but reviews are that they are, well, cheap.
