[Elecraft] K2 connection to Laptop

[Ray Spreadbury]

Hi Guys

 

When I recently bought my K2, it came with the KPA100 watt amplifier & the
separate KAT100 watt ATU. I was advised to connect the K2 RS232 interface
(the KIO2) to the antenna tuner using a made up serial cable the vendor gave
me & it all works fine.

 

I now want to connect the K2 to a laptop to use the N1MM contest logging
program etc. 

 

Does anyone know how do I do this & also connect to the tuner - if that is
necessary? (Sorry to be so dumb folks, but just returned to radio after 25
year absence!) 

 

Also, I do not have any additional screened serial cable and my laptop
doesn't have a serial port anyway so am I right in thinking Elekraft can
supply additional cable with a USB/serial converter (the KUSB)?
