[Elecraft] K3 USB-serial adapter recommendation

[James C. Hall, MD]

Hi Jack:

Well the Vista driver was a bust. The 3.1c driver for the USA 49WLC just
gave a nice red X box and that was that. Nuts !

As for trying other devices on my WinXP SP3 laptop, yes, I just checked
email via Winlink with my KPC-3+ TNC connected via the Keyspan adapter. The
TNC initialized just fine and retrieved the email.

Still working on it...

OK, so you identified a couple of things to look for. Does the adapter  
work with other rigs/devices under XP SP3?

There have been quite a few reports of problems with this update, I  
hope you haven't run into one. The latest Keyspan drivers for XP are  
dated July 4, 2007 - I presume you have those. By the way, the Keyspan  
driver files are different for XP and Vista, so be sure you have the  
right one for each OS.

I don't think I would give up quite yet on either device. There  
appears to be some sort of configuration problem, work through it and  
things _should_ work.
