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).
