[Elecraft] Transverting - DB15 UK supplier?

[Andrew Faber]

Bob,
Also, bear in mind that some cables that are billed as VGA monitor cables 
actually only use 13 pins, not all 15.  In fact, they have Pin 9 missing, 
which is one of the pins used for the Band Data Output signals.  One of the 
pins in the third row (i.e., 11 to 15) is also missing.  So be sure that you 
get a cable that actually has all 15 pins in the jack.
  I was quite surprised to note this when I was in a computer store looking 
for cables to cut up to use to connect my K3 to a Top-Ten Yaesu band 
decoder.

You need to look for DE15, not DB15.  The letter after "D" designates
the shell size, so DB would be the wider type (25-pin type normally
used for parallel ports on PCs).   The type used for VGA is DE15 (15
pins in the same shell size as the DE9 used for serial ports).
