[Elecraft] KUSB

[Don Wilhelm]

Roman,

You did not say which transceiver you have, so I will try to give you 
the full answer.

If you have the K3S or a K3 with the updated KIO3B (with a USB input), 
then the answer is yes.  Plug the cable between your USB port and the K3S.

But the KUSB implies that it is a USB to serial converter, not just a 
USB cable.
If you can obtain a USB to RS-232 converter where you are it should 
work.  The chipset desired is FTDI.  Others may work, but Prolific 
chipsets are "iffy".

OTOH, if you have a KX2 or KX3, you will need a 1/8 inch stereo plug on 
the rig end.  If you have a USB to serial adapter, you can build an 
RS-232 to 1/8 inch stereo plug cable.  Download the XG3 manual from 
Elecraft, there is a schematic of the cable in that manual.

73,
Don W3FPR
