[Elecraft] KUSB for K3

[Simon Brown (HB9DRV)]

I think Elecraft are making the correct decision by supplying a Serial<=>USB 
converter which is known to work. Being involved with the software side of 
the things it's problems with the Serial<=>USB which cause the most grief.

Known hardware doesn't always work - even if it has Elecraft stamped on its 
breast. Other factors such as an inadequate USB port come into play, however 
this is something which is easy to test and document:
