[Elecraft] K2 USB vs. DB9

[John Hoaglun]

Hi Matt,

That is an excellent point. Given that thought, it might be nice to
have a secondary board (or replacement board for those folks that may
not need the DB9 interface) that uses the TX/RX data with a USB driver
chip.

It is great radio... now we just need to get the rig interface to same
generation as the PCs that we are buying.

I am excited about ordering my K2.
