No problem Don.
We all do it at some time or other.

Mark,

YES, that is what I meant.  The fingers did not catch up with the mind - a sign of aging!

Plugging a full RS232 port into the K2 AUX IO connector may cause damage to the K2 and will cause strange behaviors.  Only 3 pins of the K2 connector are RS-232.  The remaining ones are internal K2 signal lines to be used for communicating with external Elecraft gear such as the transverters, the KAT100, and KRC2.
