Sometimes it can make life easier if you figure out which conductors are 
needed for your application.  I needed to connect the KRC2 to my K3. 
Studying the manual, I realized that all that was needed was one signal 
conductor and a return. I built the cable using a DB15, a DB9, and a 
suitable length of RG174.  I haven't seen the value in using an AX cable 
for the KPA, but if I did, knowing that would make far easier to build it.
