I thought I would share this with the group.
With all the lightning that I have during the summer months. If find
myself unplugging the USB cable several times (4 or 5 or more) a day to
be cautious.
I started thinking that any mechanical connector eventually will fail or
have issues.
So I found a USB-B male to USB-B Female 3' made by Startech. This way I
leave the cable plugged into the radio and make my disconnect at the
cable end. The cables are 6 bucks and I would rather wear one of them
out than the USB on the K3. I have not seen any RF issues with these
cables, but I add some ferrite to end.
Food for thought
