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

PHIL HYSTAD SAID:

"This is a very surprising statement.  The only RS232 interfaces I see
lingering around are from the ham radio community.  So, do you mean
the ham radio "industry"?

Uh - oh. Here we go again ... 

Phil, if you look in the archive of a few weeks back you will find the whole issue hashed out
at great length. 
I had the same reaction as yours at the outset of the last go-round, but have been educated,enlightened.

Bottom line: 

RS -232 GOOD: one mustn't be biased against it
just because it's 40 years old, 
unix[tm] is also 40 years old and yet is still the standard of excellence. 
Both are Golden Oldies.

USB: BAD [in the context of data communication with complex devices, e.g. radios]. See Guy's post.
