[Elecraft] XG3 serial cable

[Ray Sills]

Hi Gang:

One of the things that came to mind after Howard told us about his  
"lost" serial cable:  We often get a lot of "stuff" that looks similar  
and it's easy to misplace or forget what goes with what.

A while back, I took the trouble to always put a piece of white tape  
on each wall-wart power brick that would come with a piece of gear,  
and label the little PS with it's mating unit.  That way, I was  
reasonably assured that I would not insert a supply of incorrect  
voltage or polarity.
It's helped out a -lot- over the years.  And, to keep track of them, I  
had a large milk crate where I would keep them.. so I'd at least know  
where to find a power supply.

And, the same thing could be done with cables... put a piece of  
writable tape on one end (as a "flag") and identify it's use.
