[Elecraft] [K3] Built in USB interface for K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Those making a mod of that nature to a K2 (or any other radio) take on a 
new responsibility.

If anyone makes such a change and subsequently sells their K3, I would 
hope that the sale would include a CD with the latest drivers for any OS 
that could possibly be used with the K3.
Plain RS-232 does not need drivers - USB does, and those drivers are OS 
dependent and OS level dependent.
When you are working out in the field with your laptop and your USB K3, 
internet access to download new drivers may not be available.
