Re: K2 - (K2-100)

[Gene O]

I have a RS232 cable which I made for another project. I plan to change
one of the DB9 connectors to a male version.  In essence it will end up
being the cable that is shown in Figure 41 of the K2/100 manual, page 55.

My computer has a  RS232 port and the female end of this cable will go
directly to this port.

The male end shell will have to be notched since the socket at the rear
of the K2 has a bump/tab which prevents someone from plugging in a wrong
cable.  I am almost positive this mod was designed by N0SS but I can not
seem to find where I saw it.

Gene,

I also thought Tom N0SS originated that mod, but I did not find it on
his website (preserved by the Mid-Missouri Amateur Radio Club).
