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

[Josh Fiden]

The pins are normally pressed into the connector. If you can open it, 
you can usually pull them out. That way you can test non-destructively.

OM2500A only uses RxD, TxD. It does not assert any other lines. RTS & 
DTR are wired straight through, I haven't checked DSR & CTS for continuity.

I can stop posting *correct* information about this amplifier at any 
time, since it appears to be ignored. I thought it would be useful since 
I actually *own* this amp and use it with a K3 and computer. Apparently not!
