[Elecraft] K3 vs. Icom IC-7600

[Guy Olinger, K2AV]

>>> ....can't understand why the K3 didn't
>>> come with a USB port instead of the outdated com port.

You don't want a USB port if you want to do anything circuit wise external 
to the K3 using CTS/DTR leads not used for serial signal.  If the ONLY thing 
you EVER want to do with the serial port is talk to your PC, then USB will 
work.

If the Elecraft guys want to do something serious and high speed, then let 
them use the Ethernet jack.  I'd like to see an ethernet interface module 
option so I can directly remote to it from a computer.  Or an 811g wireless 
module for the same purpose.
