K3 RS232 Pin Assignment Error?

[John Silva N3AM]

Page 18 of the K3 Owner's Manual (Rev C1, Nov 18, 2007) designates
RS232 pin 6 as RTS, but the EIA standard says pin 6 is DSR, and pin 7
is RTS.  Is this an error in the manual?

Thanks for catching this John.  We had another report of this today and the
manual will be corrected in the next revision.

Pin 6 should be listed as not used.  Pin 7 should be the RTS pin.

Don...Could you put this on the Wiki also?

Thanks
