[Elecraft] K2 Info 080 Error while attempting computer contro

[Eugene Balinski]

All,

  Trying to get my K2/100/KAT-100 operation with N1MM.
  Bought the Elecraft USB-Serial adapter. Installed the
driver from the FTDI web site. Seems to be operational.
  
   Connected the cable to the computer (device found, etc).
 Connected the other end to the radio/antenna tuner serial
cable, powered up the radio, and get the "INFO 080" error.
Cycled the power, same issue.  

   Also, and the antenna tuner will not power up while the
computer cable is connected. The serial cable is  the "Y"
configuration running from the radio to the tuner and then
to the db-9 where the serial- usb converter is connected.
Turning off the radio, removing the cable and re-powering
 the tadio returns the radio to normal ops.

    I disconnected the antenna tuner portion of the cable
and still get the same error. Reconnect everything without
the serial-usb converter in the line and all works
normally.

    This is not a stock serial cable. It is supposedly
 one made especially for this application i.e K2 "special
cable". I guess I will start by ohming out the cable. 

   Any other ideas would be appreciated.
