I was looking at the cabling diagram in the manual and it appears that
the drawings for the AMP and XCVR have the wrong sex on the jacks.
Unfortunately, unlike the descriptions in the K3 and KPA500 manuals
there is no text in the manual specifying the connector sex. If they're
really like the drawing shows, you would need a DE15 cable with male
connectors on both ends and a DB15 cable with female connectors on both
ends. It appears to me the XCVR jack should be a DE15 female and the AMP
jack should be a DE15 female. Then the two cables could be the same,
with a different sex connector on each end.

I think if you study the arrangement of pins in the diagrams, you'll
find that they are correct (the female ones appear to "point" to the
right) .. what's inconsistent is the type of circles representing the
pins/receptacles.
