I like what Julian said here and I think he is spot on.  I do not think it would take much for the wizards at Elecraft to redesign the KIO3 to include both...RS232 and a USB port.  users could swap out one for the other and you have USB port.  That is so cool about the K3 and its modular

I suspect the Elecraft would cooperate if someone were to endeavor to provide a replacement KIO3 module with USB substituted for the serial connection, as long as it looked like a serial port to the K3 and to the computer OS (for software compatibility). In fact, you could probably hack the

I'd bet dollars to donuts that if this board was redesigned that what would happen is that an FTDI chip (or similar) would be dropped in and put onto a board that replaced the KIO3. Guess what The USB to UART converters are identical to that solution. The only difference would be that you
