[Elecraft] KIO3 Pinout

[Dr. Werner Furlan]

I have a question regarding the KIO3 layout. I'd like to abuse 3 pins for adding a GPS mouse to 
my TrxPtc in the K3. According to the KIO3 description in the user manual Pin 1, 8,9 are not 
used. In the list of pins I am also missing Pin 7. I used Pin 9 as GPS VCC (5V), Pin 8 is GPS in 
and Pin 5 Ground. The Trxptc has GPS out - is there anything on Pin 7 of the K3 in the 
moment?

Btw, the naming of RX and TX is "unusual" in the manual. I think a transmitting line is called 
TXD and a receiving line is called RXD, no matter on which device it is located. 
Data from the K3 = TXD -> RXD on the PC, Data from PC -TXD -> RXD on the K3.
