In the KPA100 Manual there is a warning not to use standard RS-232 cables between the K2 SIO and a PC (only pins 2, 3 and 5 are normally connected) Would it not be a similar problem using a serial to USB adapter?

Ron - You might consider getting a 4 port USB to Serial adapter. I have my IC-7000, K2, and W1 wattmeter connected to one and all three are accessbile, each with its own com port assignment. The one I purchased is based on the FTDI chipset, like the Elecraft KUSB adapter, and was abt $44 from Amazon.
