Hi Joe, I don't share your pessimism about the future support of the USB devices (2) presented by the K3S. These are standard USB audio and comms devices supported by every OS and computing device in existence (including MACs). There is just no way that future devices and OS' will abandon these devices in the foreseeable future. Representatives of Elecraft made this same argument several years ago, but the fact that they are now offering the USB port, to me, means that they are now satisfied that this is not going to be a problem. There is absolutely no effort needed by Elecraft to keep this going into the foreseeable future.
