[Elecraft] Looking for Y-serial cable k2/100 to KAT100 to PC

[Don Wilhelm]

Lou, Phil,

Do NOT use those to connect between the K2 (or K2/100) and the computer 
- the RS-232 voltages applied to pins other than 2 and 3 will damage the K2.

You can use a standard serial cable to connect between the K2 and the 
KAT100 - Just do not connect it to the computer.  You MUST use the cable 
shown in the KAT100 manual to connect to the computer - only pins 2, 3 
and 5 should be connected at the computer end, or damage to the K2 or 
KAT100 can result.

73,
Don W3FPR
