[Elecraft] COM port not working

[Bill Clarke]

This is why I use a desktop with real serial ports as my control of my 
K3. You can get a board with a couple of real serial ports cheap and 
install it easily. Then, you will have no more USB/RS232 problems.

That said, it is time that Elecraft move from the dark ages of the RS232 
into the realm of the USB port. Such a move would sure be a relief for 
the laptop users.

In case you can't figure it out, I do not trust converters. They have a 
proven track record of being unreliable. For now, I'll stick to real 
serial ports.
