[Elecraft] K3 vs. Icom IC-7600

[Greg - AB7R]

Hi Julius!

Best thing to do is to go to the MicroHam website and compare the two wiring 
diagrams for the two cables.  When I modified an Orion cable for the K3 I had to 
change some jumper wires on the inside of the DB37 assembly as well as a few other 
changes.  It's not just the connectors.
