[Elecraft] KIO2

[Robert]

The DB9 to serial port is not as simple as wiring it together.  It 
requires a dedicated USB chip and converter for use with DB9. 
You can buy a ready made USB to DB9 but it still may not work with the 
KIO2 since the USB to DB9 is a virtual port and not a true serial DB9 
port. 
You may want to ask if anyone has been successful using the serial DB9 
to USB converter with the KIO2.

Regards,
Robert VE3RPF
