[Elecraft] KIO2 Aux I/O

Sun May 19 09:36:00 2002

Male/Female(ness) of db connecters used to be determined by the shell
and not the pins.  Look at the shell (the thing holding the pins and the
smaller sockets the pins go into) you will notice that one shell fits
inside (male) of the other shell (female).  

This said, what you want is a connector on the back of your K2 that will
mate up with a cable that you are going to make later THAT ALSO mates up
with your computer.  ALL (well almost any made in the last five years)
have the same connector on the back of the PC called a serial port.
This has to get connected to the cable you make and then to the K2.  If
you don't have the right connectors to do this then you got the wrong
one(s).

Look at the serial port on your PC the connector on the K2 should be
just the opposite of this regardless of whether it has pins, sockets,
shells, etc.

Hi Guys,

Just doing the inventory of parts for the various options and I'm a 
little confused by the description in the inventory list for the KIO2. 
The list indicates x2,  9 pin female 'D' connectors and x1, 9 pin male 
connector. This may be just semantics, but my kit contains 2 connectors 
with 9 pins, and 1 connector with 9 sockets.  To my mind thats 2 male 
and one female!

Either way, can someone tell me if I have the right components?

Thanks, Trev G3ZYY
