[Elecraft] Fwd: Kxusb

[Don Wilhelm]

Seth,

I see you have been getting answers about the KUSB which is a USB to 
serial adapter with a DB9 serial port output.

However, you were asking about a KXUSB which is a "different animal". 
Yes, it has the FTDI chipset and converts the USB to RS-232, but only 
the RXD, TXD and signal ground are used - those are fed to the 1/8 inch 
stereo plug.

If you have some USB to serial adapters (FTDI chipset preferred) , you 
can construct a DB9 to 1/8 inch cable to mate with a serial port or the 
serial connector of a USB to serial adapter.
The schematic for the connections can be found in the XG3 Signal 
Generator manual.  Download the manual and look at page 30.

73,
Don W3FPR
