[Elecraft] RS232 cable source

[Dick Dievendorff]

There is a description and a picture of an appropriate serial cable in the
K3 Utility Help under the index entry "cable".

I've found the several I have at small computer shops.  I just found one on
Radio Shack's Web Site

Go with a garden-variety 9-pin "straight thru" DB9 male to female cable of
an appropriate length.  You should prefer screws on the cable connectors so
that they can be fastened securely to the jack nuts that appear on the back
of the K3 and most PC DB-9 serial connectors.  

This is typically an inexpensive item, circa $5 to $15.

In anticipation of my K3 arriving next week I'm tying to find the RS232
interface cable.  I'm going to be out of town a lot and pressed for shopping
time so I hope nobody minds my asking a dumb question.  Where can I get the
needed cable - Best Buy, Radio Shack, Wal-Mart?  My K2 will now be at the
lake cabin so that cable goes with it.
