[Elecraft] [K3] K3 USB, Serial Drivers, and HRD Connection

[N8LP]

I have had better luck with adapters that use an FTDI chipset, but the answer
isn't that simple. It all depends on OS, proper driver for that OS and
possible conflicts with other devices/programs which create virtual serial
ports. If you want to try an inexpensive adapter with FTDI chipset, look at
byterunner.com. They have a number of choices, and list the chipset brand
for each one.

Dave,

Thanks for your comments and suggestions but I should not need to change the
com port number.  I have been scanning the Internet and finding that there
is no lack of problems with the prolific drivers and I am thinking I might
just go buy some other interface.

I am willing to go out and buy another serial/USB interface cable if someone
suggests one that will work both with the K3 Utility as well as HRD (I do
not need this to run simultaneously though).
