Paul; What is your proposal for the host-side interface? Pretty much
all host programs these days use a serial interface. We usually use
this through a USB-Serial adapter or through built-in serial ports,
which are rapidly disappearing. To make this viable we would need
drivers for all major platforms that implement a serial port driver
interface to ethernet. Or, the host programs will need to be modified.
There is a lot of work needed to make this suggestion viable, both on
the host and radio sides. This is the fact same reason we still use
serial interfaces for our rigs instead of true USB interface. Put
forth a good proposal and let it be considered. Without that work
(whoever does it), ethernet hardware isn?t very useful. - Jack, W6FB
p.s., no, this isn?t a flame, but a challenge. Let?s get the whole
thing viable, then we will take a good look at implementing it on all
sides.

This inquiry is directed to both the Elecraft leadership team as well as
K3/K3s owners who may have an interest in native Ethernet connectivity. In
searching through the list archives, I noted that some K3 owners had
previously expressed an interest in an Ethernet option - and some owners
have been disappointed that the new K3s and KIO3B board does not include
Ethernet connectivity.
