[Elecraft] re: KUSB to serial

[Mike Scott]

Ken,

If you are concerned about USB to serial adapter compatibility why not just
order a real serial interface card for your computer?

I did this for my Windows XP Dell machine. I found that the cost of a serial
I/F card was cheaper than a USB adapter and any compatibility worries
vanish.

I am wondering which way to plan for K3 updates -- USB port or serial port
on your computer.

 

I am concerned about XP or Vista software being up to date for supporting
the USB port.    

 

Maybe someone with more experience can interpret the cryptic notes on the K3
software page related ot prolific. 

See the big red IMPORTANT and the related URL for prolific.
