[Elecraft] Mac OS X and K3 Utility Opinions?

[Jack Brindle]

Before anyone gets confused, you only need to install the Prolific  
driver if you happen to be using a USB-Serial adapter with one of  
their chips. I've had way too much trouble with them, so I don't. The  
FTDI -based adapters work incredibly well...

The K3 Utility works very well for me also.
