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.
