[Elecraft] usb to serial

[Wes Stewart]

I have a four-port Edgeport and it works great for everything *except* the K3 utility.  But then I have no end of trouble with the utility anyway.

Once I finally got it sort of working, opening the utility finds the K3 and reports status.  However, if I try to "test communications" or "refresh port list" the program simply closes.

I resort to a Quatech USB->Serial for any firmware installs and keep my fingers crossed.
