[Elecraft] Elecraft USB interface.

[Walter Underwood]

My single disappointment in the KX3 is that it has a forest of cables instead of a single USB port. I understand that the available USB chips create a lot of RF noise, but dang, we've had USB for fifteen years, and it just chafes me that we're fussing with the best A/D converter for a signal that was originally digital. That D->A->D path just seems  wrong.
