I use this USB/RS232 4-port adapter: http://www.amazon.com/FT4232HL-Professional-Retention-Certified-Microsoft/dp/B004ETDC8K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353285837&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+rs232+4port
$45 and works great. Since my K3, KPA500 and PowerMaster all use RS232 interfaces, I went ahead and used the RS232 adapter for the KAT500 as well. So all four pieces of ham gear connect to this one 4-port adapter. The computer sets up the four outputs sequentially, corresponding to the 1/2/3/4 marking on the four RS232 connectors on the USB adapter.
