[Elecraft] USB to Serial converter

[G. Beat]

I just received my sample of the Future Technology Devices Int'l (UK), FTDI USB chip (surface mount) ... Parallax is serving as the US distributor.  Nice small size -- could fit inside the K2.

This is the chip that is used inside the external USB/serial converter that Dick referenced.
