Chuck, Spend the $$$ to buy Amphenol or other name brand connectors, and you will not be sorry. If you are willing to take your chances on "penny pinching",then you can buy any connector that is advertised, but be prepared to accept connection failures. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/30/2021 6:48 PM,

I’m looking to build the cable shown on page 25 of the KAT100 manual to allow me to use a PC for logging while also using the KAT100 with the K2 aboard the USS Slater. Anyone recall any pitfalls or DB9 connectors to avoid? Amazon has some cheap ones but reviews are that they are, well, cheap. Do

I recently ordered this display. While I know a power cable is included, I am curious about what connector is used to provide the power to the unit: perhaps the same one used on the P3, W2, and KAT500? Tom W4KX Sent from my iPad __ El
