[Elecraft] VGA Cables (mate to K3-ACC Jack)

[Edward R. Cole]

It was brought to my attention that VGA cables will not work with the 
K3 due to several pins being tied together which I was not aware 
of.  So we will not offer them.  In fact I discovered there are 
plenty listed on ebay at prices we cannot compete with.

It was a good thought, but best if you make up cables specifically 
for the K3 and interface to what is being connected.  That is what I 
have done with my K3 (so far only using pin-7 for inhibit function).
