[Elecraft] K2:Flakey KIO2 Communication with HRD

[Simon (HB9DRV)]

1) Insufficient USB power to the USB <=> serial converter.
2) Maybe the driver for the USB <=> serial converter, but I strongly suspect 
1).

I posted this on the HRD Forum with little response so I'm trying for the 
collective wisdom of this august group.

I have two radios: a FT1000 MarkV Field and a K2.  Both are connected 
through separate USB bridges using the Proflif chip set to my USB port on a 
computer runniing XP SP3.  Both radios communicate fine with Logger32.  Only 
the FT1000 seems to be working with HRD; the K2 appears to be loosing 
characters as the frequency drops digits and/or the mode as read by HRD 
changes erratcially.  I've triple checked the configuration and have loaded 
the current drivers from the Prolific website.  I have also swapped the K2 
between the 4 USB bridges I have and the problem moves with the K2.
