[Elecraft] FSK-D wiring

The recent FSK-D firmware update has me considering wiring up for that
approach vs my current AFSK approach. Since I don't do RTTY that often I'm
looking at FSK-D as a potential screw-up preventer.

Since I already have a Y-cable to send band info to my RCS-12 and the rest
of the K-line on the other half of the Y, I'm considering just getting a
second Y cable and dedicate it to the FSK/PTT signals coming from a
dedicated USB serial cable.

This is turning into a real jumble of cables but I don't see any cleaner
way of dealing with it. I'm planning to put the transistor/level shifters
in a gender changer shell in between the USB RS232 connector and the Y
cable.

Anyone have anything cleaner? The electrical part is easy for me. I'm
trying to minimize mess/clutter.

Thanks
