[Elecraft] kxusb question

[Ken K6MR]

Uh, No. CI-V is a CSMA-CD type of system, with station addressing.  RS-232 is nothing like it. You can’t just put RxD and TxD on the same wire.  Data format is way different.

I believe you are close. The plug is not the issue. The RX and TX RS232 signals are separated on the KXUSB plug. One on tip, other on ring.

The ICOM has both signals on the tip. So a short jumper combining the tip and ring signals on the tip of a mono plug should get you going.
