[Elecraft] USB to Serial Plus 1500 watts

[Wes Stewart]

Some random thoughts:

Unless the "contest legal limit" is different from the regular legal limit (always a possibility I guess) I haven't had any problems.

How did you determine that the USB-serial converter was damaged by RF and not something else?

If you have enough RF in the shack to be blowing up things, you have other problems that need solving.

Ok guys....

Everything is grounded....but when you are pushing legal limit power in a contest, I have blown up my USB to Serial Converter.  It just doesn't work after the RF does its magic to it.  That is why I went to a serial connection.  So, what have people experienced with their USB Converters when running the big amp?
