Okay Bill, I can't claim to be coffee deprived but I didn't see the problem
at first. 

On the KPA500 rear panel: 

RS232 (PC) is female.
RS232 (XCVR) is male.
AUX1 is male. 

The drawings need to be corrected.

Hi Bill: There are only two ways to represent the connection points when
looking straight at the connectors - a solid dot or an open circle. The
solid dots indicate pins (males) and the open circle indicates sockets
(females).

I should have waited until I finished my coffee.

Update:  I see the chart on Rev A page 16 notes that the connector is indeed
male.  However, the drawings in Figure 3 (page 19), and Figure 4 (page 20),
all match Figure 1 & appear to be female.


Original semi-foggy post:

The AUX connector in Figure 1 of the Rev A manual (a drawing) appears to be
female.  It appears to match the RS232(PC) connector rendering in terms of
M/F.  

The high res picture on the web site looks like the AUX1 connector (new
name!?) is male - appears to match the RS232(XCVR) connector in terms of
M/F.

Is the AUX connector a boy or a girl ??   :-)

THANKS!   73, Bill  N2BC
