"Y" Cable when using the KPA100 and KAT100 in the EC-2

[T Gahagan]

I need to extend the length of the Y cable coming off of the back of the K2 that goes to my computer.  Can I just use a plain DB-9 to DB-9 extension cable?  Probably a dumb question but I don't want to fry anything in the KIO2.

Thanks,
Todd, WA7U

Todd,

Once you have constructed the K2 to computer cable properly, yes, you may
extend it using a normal computer serial cable.  Reason is that only the
required RS232 level lines are present in the Elecraft specified cable -
there will be no connection to other RS232 level lines (the ones that cause
problems with the K2 because they are used for internal signalling).

Don W3FPR
