[Elecraft] Connecting a KXUSB to the K2 RS232

[Hans J Rasmusen]

All,
During the past weekend I pulled my faithful K2 out for the EUHFContest.
I found a RS232 to USB cable locally, but it does not connect. Is there a way I can check if the chip works correctly?

I have a couple of KXUSB on hand. Is there any reason that I can not or should not connect the KXSUB Tip to Pin 3, the Ring to the Pin 2 and the Sleeve to Pin 5 of the DB9F connector (from the K2)?
I should then be able to key and control the K2 from N1MM logger, as I do my KX3.

By the way, the K2 CW sound beats all, my KX3 included. 

Thanks 73
