The serial cable that is shipped with the XG3 has managed to hide itself in my cable jungle. It is clearly not the garden variety serial cable. Can anyone describe it, diagram it or just tell me where I can replace it. I like my last idea best :-).Howard..K2HK 
Thank you all for the replies. This should help me  flush it out or at least replace it. Below the suggestions
 same as the KX3 if you have one. .bill nr4c  the cable should be like very few you might have.. one end has a 3.5mm TRS plug.. and the other has a 9-pin female D connector.Elecraft carries them as a stock item... $30 plus shipping. That's if you have the RS-232 version. Otherwise, the 9-pin is replaced with a USB A connector (the flat one) Ray,K2ULR
Look on page 30 of your owners manual. The schematic for the cable is there.My ops manual is Rev D.I guess you could get a replacement from Elecraft. There is more cableconnector (power) info on Page 7 of the manual.Rick W7KLG
DB9-F at one end, 3.5mm TRS male at the other. The K144XV and KX3cables are identical.Matt, k6nia
Or use a cable from another Elecraft piece like the KX3 etc.K9yeq..Bill
I hold the supreme ranking worldwide for "Cable Unfindable" as i have so many of them so frightened that they cringe in fear when i yell out to them to announce their whereabouts.....
Elecraft have them of course. They look like a stereo plug on one end with a USB plug on the other end.
To assist you in locating it, elecraft thoughtfully supply black ones.Gary..VK1zz
