[Elecraft] USB - RS232

[Dick Dievendorff]

Thanks, Earl. I have two tiers of ABCD switch that I use to switch my
development computer to two other ABCD switches, one for each K3.  My MK2R+
is one of the other inputs to the 2nd tier.  I'm also switching my
development computer to a W2, K144XV, or KPA500 from time to time...

I got tired of constantly tearing the station apart...

I do all my development testing with a Prolific KUSB. I'm using Windows 7
(64-bit) and Windows XP normally.

Dick

Thanks Dick,
  It Is Prolific. Not really had a lot of problems with connectivity 
(XP Media). I do use an A/B switch to change between the K3 Utility 
(via the KUSB) and a MH Micro Keyer. When I swap I usually have to 
disconnect and reconnect the KUSB to the computer and turn the K3 off 
and back on. Sometimes more than once.
