[Elecraft] A "My K3's coming question"

[Julian G4ILO]

Is there a wiring diagram for the "optimum" K3 RS-232 cable anywhere?
I know people are saying "use a standard serial cable" but it's pretty
hard to buy such things these days now USB has taken over and as I
have a pair of the right connectors and a length of multi-core cable
it makes most sense for me to make up my own. It's also something to
do while I'm waiting...

I'd also like to make up audio interface cables. I can't tell what the
connectors on the K3 are from the picture, and the manual didn't
appear to mention it.
