[Elecraft] K3S RS232 "Y" Connector causing port conflict

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Charles,

When the K3S is using the USB comm port for talking bi-directionally  to the 
computer, is is also echoing the K3S reply data out the RS232 port for 
Amplifiers, Steppir antenna controllers etc to listen to for band and frequency 
information.

73,

Eric
