K3 Questions

[Bob Wehking]

While I wait for my K3 to arrive, I need to make an RS232 cable from the
K3 to my computer serial port. Does the K3 require the use of a null
modem cable? I assume to control the K3 with Ham Radio Deluxe &
Logger32, data needs to be transmitted back & forth between the rig &
the software program via a RS232 port on the PC. Does this information
come from the accessory connector & if so what pin outs would be used?

No, a standard, straight-through, pin-for-pin, male-to-female, 9-pin
serial cable is all that is required.

Will one made to K2 specs be OK, or are other RS-232 signals required
to be connected?

The 3-wire cable for the K2 will work for getting data into and out from
the K3.  If you wish to use RTS or DTR for PTT and/or keying, then these
lines must be connected.
