[Elecraft] How 'bout a USB interface?

Sat Jul 13 11:57:00 2002

I agree, an Ethernet port would be very nice :)   Might be overkill compared to RS232 but what the heck we can dream can't we?  RS232 is pretty simple to program just 
look up a few code fragments and you'll see.  USB is not simple.  My K2 already has at least 5 uControllers in it why should we add more just to link to a computer?  Didn't 
we buy and build the K2 so we could have some fun and not have to deal with computers?  I build Elecraft kits to get away from my work as a software and computer 
engineer.  It is a welcome relief to not have a monitor staring me in the face.  I put on my headphones and relax while listening to the world talk about their kids, their 
grandkids and their antennas.  I have a blast and get some relaxation.  If you want to deal with networking I can get you a job as a network administrator where everyone 
hates you.  Good paying job ($100k +)  but not my cup of tea.
