[Elecraft] OT-USB Serial Adapter

[Matt Zilmer]

I've used the Keyspan as well as an Ethernet/serial adapter to connect
a laptop to the K3.  Both work fine, but the Prolific (KUSB) adapter
seems a bit faster on program loading and bulk data - the
configuration settings, for example..

The only purpose for using the Ethernet adapter was to operate the K3
remotely, not for program loading.  I found that it was a little more
convenient to keep the KUSB with the radio and use the Keyspan for all
other serial connections, rather than moving the Keyspan to the K3 
when it was needed.  The footprint of the KUSB is also smaller than
the Keyspan.  Just leave it connected full-time.....

If anyone is interested in getting the Ethernet adapter model number,
let me know.  It's a B&B Electronics device, but I don't have the
model number with me.

73,
matt
