[Elecraft] AUX not available for PC when using KAT100?

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave and all,

OK, the way it works is:  The KPA100 (or KIO2) comes with a cable and 2 
connectors  (and backshells) to build the cable to connect to the 
computer.  The KAT100 kit contains a length of cable and one connector 
to go onto the KAT100 end.

The pins for the cable to the computer are different than the pins used 
between the KPA100 and the KAT100 (this is NOT an "RS232 cable" - the K2 
is marked 'AUX I/O' and it means just that, DO NOT PLUG AN RS232 SERIAL 
CABLE ONTO THE K2).

If you have both kits, you can build both ends of the cable at the same 
time - see the illustration in the KAT100 manual for the entire cable 
assembly.

73,
Don W3FPR
