[Elecraft] "Y" Cable when using the KPA100 and KAT100 in the EC-2

[Don Wilhelm]

Todd,

Once you have constructed the K2 to computer cable properly, yes, you may
extend it using a normal computer serial cable.  Reason is that only the
required RS232 level lines are present in the Elecraft specified cable -
there will be no connection to other RS232 level lines (the ones that cause
problems with the K2 because they are used for internal signalling).
