FW: [Elecraft] K3 f/w updates and Keyspan USB to serial port adapter
My K3 back panel RS-232 connector is female. The USB to serial adapter I have is male. The m-f cable I have works fine. I'm not sure what picture you're looking at. I looked at the data sheet and it wasn't immediately clear to me which gender they were. The K3 15-pin accessory connector is also female. 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: John Reiser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 6:13 PM To: Dick Dievendorff; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 f/w updates and Keyspan USB to serial port adapter Hi Dick, I have a serial m-f straight-through cable that has screws on both DB-9s. However, I see from the picture of the K3 rear panel that the RS232 connector is male. I looked at my Keyspan USA 19HS adapter and found that it is also male. So to make it work I would need a f-f serial cable. I think that I should order a KUSB, which is exactly what I was trying to determine. I appreciate yours and everyone's help with this.

You may have difficulty inserting the Keyspan DB-9 directly into the back of the K3 as both connectors have nuts. You can decide later, of course, and order a KUSB if you feel you need it at the same time you order your next K3 option... 73 de Dick, K6KR ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Buy two male DB9 connectors for ribbon cable, and two female, then squeeze them onto a foot of 9-way ribbon cable like this: M==F==M==F Take great care about the polarity and orientation of the connectors - they must follow pin 1 to pin1 all the way. It's a very handy thing to have around the shack. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK 'In Practice' columnist for RadCom (RSGB) http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
