In that case it's probably statistically slightly more likely that a CAT command (seems like about 5 bytes) would get garbled going across the USB than whatever bit stream went across the USB to turn RTS off. One would be an op-code (probably 8 bits) plus 5 more bytes, versus the other being just

there is no physical RTS line involved like there would be in an old-style COM/RS232 device- there is only serial data going across a USB cable to a logical COM device inside the K3S. It most likely wouldn't change anything in this case. The physical RTS line is moved from the computer to
