Hi Bob,

Many ham stations incorporate legacy computers and interfaces that use  
RS232. We didn't want to create havoc by forcing everyone to upgrade.  
OTOH, it's easy to convert RS232 to USB.

That said, we hope to offer a USB version of the K3's digital I/O card  
sometime in the future. Nothing in the works yet.

tnx
