Hello Earl, Below is an excerpt from my /var/log/messages file after plugging the Deluo GPS in - the line that ends with "pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0" is the device you enter when you configure your GPS. So I entered "/dev/ttyUSB0" in my "Configure GPS" window in Xastir. You have to change your permissions to read/write for that port. I'm using Fedora 6 so you may have to browse a bit to find the Kubuntu settings.
