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

[Chip Stratton]

I do have a properly wired Rs232 to KIO2 adapter cable which I have been
using for K2 to computer comms. What I want is to use this with a splitter
cable so all three - computer, KAT100, and K2 can each do their thing
together without conflict. All three will be talkers and listeners, but I
expect the computer is unlikely to want to talk when the others do.
