Hi all,
I am looking for Y serial port cable to connect my K2/100 to the KAT100 and to a PC. I can not make any cables right now due to bad eyesight. thanks, KN1W ---------------------------------------- Luis Aguilar KN1W (the picture in QRZ is my son) http://www.mac84.com/kn1w email: [hidden email] ---------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

If it's a "regular" 9-pin Y cable - with all pins wired and you are sure that's what you want - check out the following page : http://www.pchcables.com/db9sespca1fe.htm I have bought almost all of my cables from them. They are a first-class place for both over-the-counter and on-line sales. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
Lou, Phil,
Do NOT use those to connect between the K2 (or K2/100) and the computer - the RS-232 voltages applied to pins other than 2 and 3 will damage the K2. You can use a standard serial cable to connect between the K2 and the KAT100 - Just do not connect it to the computer. You MUST use the cable shown in the KAT100 manual to connect to the computer - only pins 2, 3 and 5 should be connected at the computer end, or damage to the K2 or KAT100 can result. 73, Don W3FPR Phil Kane wrote: > On 8/24/2009 4:43 PM, Lou Aguilar wrote: > > >> I am looking for Y serial port cable to connect my K2/100 to the >> KAT100 and to a PC. >> > > >> I can not make any cables right now due to bad eyesight. >> > > I am in the same condition.

Thanks to all that replied!
A very nice ham and Gentleman is going to make me the cable according to specs. This is another testament to the collaboration and fellowship of the Elecraft community.
