[Elecraft] K3 ACC connector and VGA cable

[ww2r2]

Be cautious on using VGA cables. I bought 2 a few years ago which didnt have
pin 9 connected which unfortunately is one of the band signals from the K3,
So I made my own with 2 connectors and a lenght of multicore cable

I just hit a similar snag this weekend, my cables unlimited PCM-2250 15 pin
Y cable adaptors also have no pin 9, which means they are only usable if I
dont use band data

Hi,

I am starting to get the my K3 integrated into my station.

I am thinking about building a breakout box to bring several of the pins on
the ACC connector out to RCA jacks.

I was wondering if I just hack off one end of a standard VGA cable if the
cable has enough wires in it to get to all the pins on the ACC connector?
Or, get a 15 pin VGA connector and make up my own cable?

Comments from the K3 community?
