[Elecraft] K3S USB Port

[Rich]

I thought I would share this with the group.

With all the lightning that I have during the summer months.   If find 
myself unplugging the USB cable several times (4 or 5 or more) a day to 
be cautious.

I started thinking that any mechanical connector eventually will fail or 
have issues.

So I found a USB-B male to USB-B Female 3' made by Startech. This way I 
leave the cable plugged into the radio and make my disconnect at the 
cable end.   The cables are 6 bucks and I would rather wear one of them 
out than the USB on the K3.  I have not seen any RF issues with these 
cables, but I add some ferrite to end.

Food for thought
