[Elecraft] HRD shuts down

[Keith]

Make sure you use a FTDI Serial Cable that has a real RS-232 Port built in 
http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/EvaluationKits/USB-Serial.htm
When I bought this cable all my Serial port nightmares ended in Linux, BSD,
MAC OS X and Windows 32 OS systems.



In Windows Vista make sure that you set up the program to run in a windows
XP compatibility mode and also make sure that you have downloaded the latest
version of HRD. Contact the author of HRD if problems continue. 

Good Luck and DX.

We habe been trying to use HRD with the K3 but the program shuts down after
some seconds. I use Windows Vista. The K3 is connected to the program in the
beginning(I can read the K3´s frequency), but then stops working(blue
screen). We believe that the USB to serial cable is causing troubles, but on
the other hand I can run the K3 utility without any problem with the same
cable and drivers.
