[Elecraft] KUSB(Prolific) and Win7 Problems

[Dick Dievendorff]

There is information in K3 Utility Help under "Troubleshooting" for USB
adapters that describes how to use the Windows Device Manager to determine
the device driver versions. The Windows Device Manager display of the device
driver version will also show you the chipset vendor, if you wonder who
makes the chip set used in the USB to Serial Adapter you're using.

My understanding is that the diskette included with the KUSB (FTDI version)
works fine, and that Microsoft or Windows Update will update the FTDI-based
device drivers.  You might have to use the "Custom" button on Microsoft
Update to have it examine device drivers versions.

Dick, K6KR
