[Elecraft] k2 rs232 to usb

[Mike Sanders]

Yes, I built the Elecraft cable with the I/O kit and used
a FTDI chipset serial to usb cable with it with no issues.
Use it often on digital modes. Prolific chipset serial to
usb cable did not work. I did not investigate why just changed
to a FTDI cable.

No issue *but* you must connect only pins 2, 3 and 5.  Connecting any
other pins from the USB converter to KIO2 could damage either the USB
converter or KIO2.
