Reccomended KXV3 wiring

What is the recommended way to make up the connectors between the 15 pin K3IO interface and a series of XV transverters?

There are other signals on the 15 pin connector not associated with transverting. I am wondering how to make up a suitable cable to extend the 15 pin port and to add the transverter connections. With the K2 cables and connectors are daisy chained. With the high density 15 pin connector it might be difficult wiring up all the signals in such a small space, let alone fitting two wires onto some of the pins.

It is almost worth making up a breakout PCB and using a standard 15pin-15pin cable - assuming nobody else has produced one of these.

Hi

Its been a while since I built a K2/multi transverter setup but you only
need 4 wires for each transverter. Pins 6, 8, 9 and 1 on the transverter 9
pin connector. These are all daisy chained to each transverter. The only
difference in the K2 and K3 would be the 15 pin on the K3 end or a 9 pin for
a K2.

For the K3 connector pin 2 (AUXBUS) connects to pin 6 on the transverter.
Pin 7 (XVTR ON) connects to pin 8 on the transverter. Pin 10 (KEYOUT-LP)
connects to pin 9 on the transverter. The ground pin 5 or 12 connects to pin
1 on the transverter.
