[Elecraft] KX3/KX2 CAT to Rigblaster Advantage

[Don Wilhelm]

Erik,

Use the RS-232 interface, but you will need the KXSER cable to connect 
the KX3/2 to the DB9 connector.  You can order it from Elecraft or 
construct your own.  If you do not have the parts on hand but still want 
to build it, order the kit of parts W1SERKT from Elecraft.

I am certain the schematic appears in other places, but one I know about 
is on page 30 of the XG3 Owner's Manual - download it from the Elecraft 
website.

73,
Don W3FPR

If I use 3.5mm to DB9 would it be direct connection or is a special level converter cable needed?  I have many USB-serial cables for my KX3/PX3/KXPA100/KX2, never thought to specify the DB9 version for any of them just to have one handy… :-/
