[Elecraft] KRC2 rs232 to cpu not working

[Bob]

That may not be necessary.   I'm working from memory which is a horrible thing 
to try and use but if I recall correctly each of the 9 pin connectors have 
jumpers on each pin.   Some time ago when I had installation troubles with mine 
I determined what was actually needed in my case and removed all unnecessary 
jumpers.   Bingo!  All issues went away...   I did not try to determine what 
connections were the problem

I had a PC connected thru a USB to RS232 convertor and the K3 Aux buss on the 
other port.  Both now remain connected even when not it use.

My KRC controls an Array Solution  Six Pack..    It has an added switch so can 
do fully automatic switching or manual override.

73,
