Good afternoon
     
      this is John Klokis, kb3hqh.  I recently became a proud owner of a Elecraft K2 with 100 watt option and automatic antenna tuner.  I would like to ask you for some help in getting the right computer cable to run the setup I have with my computer.  I do  not need to run the antenna tuner if it is to complicated to interface. I canuse an outboard tuner.
     
      I do not have a serial port with my new desktop.  I only have USB ports. I am running a Ten Tec Jupiter with a serial port to USB cable from radio shack.  I can not connect this cable to the K2.  I have been reading on the reflector that the computer cable is different on the K2.  Is this correct?  And can you advise me on what cable to use with a USB port?  Is there a cable that I can use just with a USB port and software to install the cable?
     
     Thanks again,
     
     John Klokis kb3hqh
