[Elecraft] WRONG SERIAL CABLE - If you've done this please reply

[Julian, G4ILO]

A bit of a lo-tech solution, but why not just put a sticker by the serial 
connector that says "WARNING: Use only a K2 serial cable" ? I think I'll do 
that myself right now, as a precaution against absent-mindedness in years 
to come.

I didn't do it, but I came THIS close!  When I built the KPA100 I 
actually had a computer-type RS232 cable plugged in, but something made 
me read the manual before turning it on.

I am sure W & E agonized about this, but considering that these K2s will 
last a long time and be in hands other than those of the original 
builder, I think that a different connector than the DB9 (perhaps some 
kind of DIN connector) should be used.
