[Elecraft] KAT500 / W2 Serial Connection

Don Elecraft: I'm having difficulty connecting to either my KAT500 or W2 via a serial cable. Is the KSXER (3.5mm to DB9-F) any different from the standard 3.5mm to DB9-F that I already own? Brian KD0HII __ Elecraft mailing list

Brian, I don't know which DE-9 to 3.5mm cable that you currently have, but it is easy to check with an ohmmeter. Does DE9 pin 5 connect to the shell of the 3.5mm? That is Signal Ground. Next check DE-9 pin 2 - that should connect to the tip of the 3.5mm plug. Then DE-9 pin 3 should connect to
