[Elecraft] USB drivers

[Dick Dievendorff]

You don't need to completely build your K3 before installing USB to Serial
Adapter drivers.

 

If your HP Pavilion uses Windows XP and you're using a USB to Serial Adapter
based on the Prolific PL-2303 (like the Elecraft KUSB and many others),
you'll find drivers on the Prolific web site, which is referenced from K3
Utility Help and the Elecraft software web page.

 

 If your USB to Serial Adapter is an Elecraft KUSB, it should have come with
installation instructions.  They're also available on the Elecraft web site
manuals section at http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KUSB_Manual_Rev_B.pdf

 

Here's the driver link: http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31

 

If your HP Pavilion has Windows Vista, the instructions are a little
different.  The drivers come from Microsoft Update (or already be installed,
depending on the Service Pack level).  See the KUSB manual for more detailed
instructions.

I am building my K3 #2341.  Must the rig be complete to install the drivers
for the USB to Serial Port converter?  I just plugged in the USB to my PC
and the device was noticed but I got an error message.

 

Here is what it said:

 

Problem caused by PL-2303 USB-to-Serial Port Adapter

This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between this version of
Windows and PL-2303 USB-to-Serial Port Adapter.

This product is usually distributed by the company that manufactured your
device or computer.

Note
If you bought PL-2303 USB-to-Serial Port Adapter from a retailer and
installed it yourself, you will need to contact its manufacturer.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.  BTW, the K3 Utility did download.  My PC is
an HP Pavillon.
