[Elecraft] K3s question

[David Christ]

The of an RJ-45 jack for a serial port is hardly innovative nor new.  Lantronix has been using them for well over 15 years.  I will be interested to see if Elecraft uses the same pin assignments.

Remember, RS-232 is not a physical connector specification.  It defines the signals.
