Tom,
The only 'cons' that I can think of is the computer OS support for the
device in the K3S (which really is an internal USB to RS-232 adapter).
It will work just as well and likely better than an external USB to
serial adapter.
Support for USB to serial adapters was a bit 'flaky' back in 2008 when
the K3 was announced, but as time has gone by, I have found USB devices
are fully supported by most computers.
Of course, if the computer has real RS-232 ports, those are usually
independent of OS support issues - all OS variations I know about
support the RS-232 port directly - even if the computer does not have an
RS-232 port connection.
73,
Don W3FPR

I would like to know exactly what would be sacrificed by the convenience
of using the USB to computer vs an external interface. So what are the
con(s)?
