[Elecraft] KAT500-KPA500 cabling question

[Jim Sheldon]

I realize this has been hashed over pretty well here, but I don't recall a confirmation that a complete 15pin-15pin cable with all wires connected straight through and NO pins connected (or shorted) to any other pins is OK to be used between the KAT500 and the KPA500,  IF and only IF the standard AUX cable is used between the K3 and the KAT500.

Can someone confirm that this is OKAY?

I have found that I have such a cable on hand and if it will work, I won't have to actually build one or order another cable.  My KAT500 is due to ship in a week or so and I'd like to make sure I have everything on hand to just hook it up and operate.

Please reply off list to keep the clutter and re-hash of this topic to a minimum so Eric doesn't have to wade in.  He's busy enough as it is trying to help get backlogged KX3 and KX3 accessory product out the door.

Thanks,
