[Elecraft] How 'bout a USB interface?

Fri Jul 12 19:49:01 2002

The following web site 

http://www.elektronikladen.de/en_usb08.html

has a USB evaluation board that seams like it would do everything the
KIO2 does (and more if you fed some of the signals into the right
place).  Could easily control the K2, measure K2 temperature, provide a
display of AGC, output power, etc. AND probably drive a relay to turn
on/off the K2.  I have been looking at this very seriously but can't
justify it yet or have the time to reprogram the basic program provided
to do this, let alone have the necessary compilers.

How hard would it be to replace the K2/100's serial interface (and/or
the
KIO2) with a USB interface?  Would much in the way of firmware changes
be
necessary?

USB seems like a much simpler, better, and less-hassle interface (from
the
user's point of view).
