200ft is easy (as you mention), and I don't see the need for USB speed with 
Elecraft's offerings except *maybe* the 2008 panoramic adapter - but this 
could easily use WiFi.

I have no doubt that serial cards etc. will be available for a very long 
time to come, it's a simple rock-solid solution. I would rather the K4 had 
bluetooth or Ethernet than USB.
