[Elecraft] Fw: K-3 Arrived. Interface RS232 Serial DB9 cable to USB, or DB9, or other options?

[Lee Buller]

Well, this is a pickle.  The only recourse you have is to buy the USB to Serial adapter, or get a old computer that has an RS232 port.  Just no other options as I see it.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?

Interface Cable question:  The Dell E1405 laptop here does not have a
RS232/DB9 port, and at this time I would prefer not to have to use the USB
port for an interface cable.  The only other ports on the computer are the
(a) 15-pin "Video" port, the (b) RJ-45 network connector port, and
(c) the
RJ-11 modem port.  I would think these latter ports are not options, but pls
let me know if I'm wrong about that.

Comment:  This is my first post here, having received the K-3 just
yesterday, SN#2001 with several accessories installed.  As a closing comment
to my first post, let me just say here that Katie and company were great. 
We need a T-shirt with their pictures on it.  I feel privileged to be here
as an Elecraft K3 enthusiast along with the rest of you, as it is my belief
that the K3 will eventually surpass the legendary fame of the Collins KWM-2. 
This list has been more than helpful.  I have been reading the Reflector for
the past four months, with much of camaraderie and encouragement here
leading me in the direction of the Elecraft Order page. Thank you.   73 de
Mark.
