The RS232 connector on the K3 rear panel has nine pins inside its shell. The mating connector that plugs into it has nine corresponding sockets inside its shell. Depending on whether you base the connector gender on the pins/sockets or the shell geometry that contains them, you might call the same connector either "male" or "female". That's why some engineers prefer to use pins and sockets terminology rather than gender. In any case, the RS232 DE-9P connector on the K3 has nine pins inside its shell, which is the same as other radios. The Accessory DE-15S connector on the K3 has fifteen sockets inside its shell. 73, Ed - W0YK _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
