[Elecraft] K3: Edgeport Question

I used a 4-port Edgeport when using my PC and running the AL-1500.  Did not have any 
issues.  I have everything meticulously grounded to a SPG and my antennas are at least 
70ft or more from the shack.
I don't use the Edgeport any longer since they don't have a MAC driver.  I have found 
the Keyspan 4-port device to work great without ANY issues on both platforms.

>When I purchased by K3, I also got the KUSB kit as well.  Worked great for quite 
awhile but then developed some issues.  I think the issues were due to RF.  Of course, 
I have an amplifier and I use it (AL82).  I have all the standard grounds in the 
shack, tuners, and all that kind of stuff.  But, it seemed on the low bands the KUSB 
would choke and the only thing I can think of was RF.  I choked the lines with beads 
and all, but to no avail.  Finally, I think the thing went kaput and would not work 
anymore.  I replaced with with a RS232 cable to the back of the computer and have had 
no trouble since.  Now, I throw a lot of RF because I contest so I make runs.
