Glenn,
Thank you for the information. That is very reassuring for me. I've ordered the adapter from Elecraft and we'll see what happens when it arrives.
To All,
My thanks to all who replied including direct email to me. Your responses have been excellent and appreciated. I might mention I am aware of the need to use the special cable as prescribed in the Elecraft manuals. I've used it successfully numerous times with my K2 so I'm confident it is correctly configured.
73,
Jim, AB0UK
