[Elecraft] Can I split or share my ACC port?

[Don Wilhelm]

Actually this applies to any serial port connection.

In the specifics of the KPA100 and KAT100, there is the RXD andTXD 
(along with signal ground) that go to the PC while the rest of the 
internal K2 signals connect to the KAT100.

So bottom line, a splitter cable will not work properly, the easy 
solution is to construct the cable wiring depicted in the KAT100 manual.
