[Elecraft] K3 rig control/CW serial interface

[david Moes]

I use serial cable only as well using RTS DTR  for keying from N1mm and 
logger 32.   originally  I had some issues with some messed up keying 
using the USB- serial adapter.   I discovered that the Mother board did 
have RS232 it just wasn't on the back of the computer.   I just needed 
an adapter cable that had DB9 at one end and a molex connecter that 
attache to Motherboard.   this solved the issue  I am guessing it was 
some latencies in the USB adapter.

    Talking to the guy at the computer store he told me that most new 
motherboards still have a serial bus but rather than a DB9 port on the 
back just have 9 pin connectors on the board  so you need the extra 
cable.   it just fits into one of the unused expansion slot openings and 
has a ribbon cable from the DB9 that goes to the connector on the 
MoBo.   works fine for me    I don't run it more than 30WPM  but that's 
just because faster is way beyond my own abilities.
