[Elecraft] K2/RS-232/USB issues

[Bozidar Benc]

I'm using USB to serial adapter through 7 port USB hub with HandEra PDA.
Works fine once I found the driver that works correctly on Win XP.
I guess that it should work fine with K2.

If your laptop has IRDA capability, maybe you can connect serial to IRDA
adapter to K2.

Has anyone tried that?
