[Elecraft] RS 232 now working!

[Bruce D. McLaughlin]

Well, sometimes it is the simplest and obvious things that will do you
in.  I'm glad to say the RS 232 port in my new KPA100 is now working
fine.  It turns out there was nothing wrong with the port.  But the darn
jack screws were not allowing the plugs on either the K2 or the computer
to go in all the way.  It was simply poor or maybe no contact with the
rig and perhaps the computer.  I disassembled the plug shield, removed
the jack screws and plugged in the connectors directly without the jack
screws.  Now it works.  I haven't decided whether to leave it as it is
or fool around with the shield/jackscrew combo to see if I can get a
better fit.

Any thoughts on the subject?
