[Elecraft] K3 VGA info needed

  I *will* "split hairs" - because a VGA cable has several pins tied to 
each other (the shields for the video signals I believe), and there are 
some pins that are not used.
If one tries to use a VGA cable on the K3 ACC connector, the results may 
be disappointing.
There are cables built with all 15 pins isolated and all pins populated, 
but they are harder to find.

For clarity's sake, let's avoid referring to that connector as a "VGA"
ACC connector or the "DB-15HD female connector" describe it well.
