[Elecraft] USB-to-Serial cable - Follow-up

[Rich]

One more item that may be of interest to the masses.  For years I used 
my K3 and a Vista laptop with West Mountain USB converters. This setup 
worked perfectly.  A laptop failure required me to upgrade.  Due to the 
purchase of the new Win 8 laptop I needed to replace my USB RS232 
adapters.  I bought the WM cables for Win 8. Both of these cables failed 
while i was operating.  They replaced them and then they failed again.  
I would guess they are extremely sensitive to RF.   I should mention 
that these are used while operating portable.
