[Elecraft] K3 vs. Icom IC-7600

[Julius Fazekas n2wn]

I picked up a microham USB Interface II this past weekend. It has a cable for
a FT1000. I would assume all that needs to be done to make this work with a
K3 is provide the appropriate connector adapters (versus spending $65+ for
the K3 cable). 

Has anyone done this? Any caveats?

Thanks,
Julius
