[Elecraft] USB to Serial adapter for KIO2

[Don Wilhelm]

Paul,

The FTDI adapters seem to work well.  You can get one from Elecraft.
Be certain that you do use the K2 to PC cable.  If you get a USB to 
serial adapter that has a long tail, you may want to shorten the K2 to 
PC cable, but it must be present to avoid damaging the K2 or the serial 
port.  Do not plug a serial port (or adapter) into the KIO2 directly.

I have heard that some adapters work well and others do not.  I would be interested in hearing specific brand suggestions for a good adapter.
