[Elecraft] DB9/DE9 connector

[wayne burdick]

One last point about our selection of a 9-pin D connector for this 
function. Among available connectors, this type is both very familiar 
and easy to work with. The mating connector has easily-accessed solder 
cups for wire attachment; the pin numbers are labeled; backshells work 
well, and allow various cable diameter egress; and they're reliable. On 
top of that you can buy them anywhere.

A mating connector that was hard to work with would be a poor choice, 
especially for a kit transceiver.
