Phil,

Look at the cable shown in the KAT100 manual page 25.
Note that the cable connects to the AUX I/O connector.
That is *not* a serial port - only three pins are RS-232, RXD, TXD and 
Signal Ground.
Do not plug a serial cable directly into the K2, it can damage the K2 or 
the serial port or both.  You must use the special cable to connect to 
the computer or a serial adapter.

73,
Don W3FPR
