My K3 back panel RS-232 connector is female. The USB to serial adapter I
have is male. The m-f cable I have works fine.
I'm not sure what picture you're looking at. I looked at the data sheet and
it wasn't immediately clear to me which gender they were. The K3 15-pin
accessory connector is also female.

Hi Dick,
I have a serial m-f straight-through cable that has screws on both DB-9s.
However, I see from the picture of the K3 rear panel that the RS232
connector is male. I looked at my Keyspan USA 19HS adapter and found that
it is also male. So to make it work I would need a f-f serial cable.
I think that I should order a KUSB, which is exactly what I was trying to
determine.
I appreciate yours and everyone's help with this.
John, W2GW
