[Elecraft] RS232 cable source

[k7nhb]

Bill,
Just a word of Caution - though the K3 can take a standard Serial cable -
I've read that the K2 CANNOT. If you plug a standard serial cable into a K2
you will Blow the I/O board. I mention that because when you mentioned your
K2 was at the lake cabin, it sounded like you thought the cables were
interchangeable. The K3 may work with the special K2 cable - I don't know
about that. But again, It's been posted that plugging an "off the shelf"
serial cable into a K2 (turned on of course) will destroy the I/O board.
