Actually, I was confused about the KUSB option. I actually thought it was a "built-in" USB port and when I learned it was merely a serial to USB connector and cable I then scratched the KUSB off of my budding proposed configuration. This is because I have a number of such serial to USB cables and certainly I would find one that would work.
So, I am putting my vote in on a future option to integrate a built-in USB port instead of, or in addition to, the serial port. I understand that there are still quite a few ham operators that operate with "yesterday's" computer technology and may not even have USB capability. I am on the other side, I have no serial port capability on any of my computers (all Apple mac and one Windows 7 laptop). phil, K7PEH P.S. I hope to put in my K3 order before Christmas. I won't have the time to put it together until January anyway so I will have to wait a bit.
