[Elecraft] anyone recommend where to buy a SERIAL to USB cable for a k3

[Dick Dievendorff]

One characteristic of the KUSB from Elecraft is that its jack screws can firmly attach the cable to the K3. Not all USB to Serial adapters have this “gender”.

I find some USB adapters on Amazon with jack screws and others with nuts to attach to screws. If you use a cable with jack nuts, it may not completely seat.

I’ve successfully used a Gearmo 4 port USB to serial adapter, which uses the FTDI chipset, to connect to several devices to one USB hub on my computer. Amazon has these.

I can also recommend Edgeport, but you’ll also need DE-9 cables from that box to the radio.
