[Elecraft] K3 to KAT500

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

The fact that pins 6, 7, and 8 are designated as 'ground' indicates to 
me that this is a VGA cable and those pins will be connected together.
You need a cable that is wired with all 15 pins independent of each 
other - in other words, a 'stragiht-thru' cable.

If you want it fast, ask Elecraft to send it via Priority Mail, it will 
arrive in 3 days.

73,
