[Elecraft] K3 Serial Port

[Erik N Basilier]

I use an EdgePort with 2 serial ports and can testify to their quality.
Bought this years ago when the cheap versions didn't work very well (at 
least that was my experience).
In contrast, the EdgePort worked right from the start, and the EdgePort 
people provided great support when I wanted to change the configuration.
This is the expensive Rolls Royce of serial ports, and these days the cheap 
ones seem to work fine.
But if the EdgePorts can be had cheaply on ebay I wouldn't hesitate to 
choose the same brand today.
