[Elecraft] K3: Windows 7 and USB/serial redux

[Rich]

Several years ago I purchased the KeySpan USB/Serial adapter. I have had
absolutely no problem with it on WinXP, WinVista and Win7 (both 32&64 bit). 
If you are using a laptop or change equipment around it is a must.  The
driver can be setup so that the individual converter will always have the
same serial port, regardless of which usb jack you plug it into. How many
times have you spent an hour or so trying to figure out what is wrong when
al it was is you put the plug into a different jack?  I now have two of
these and one is set up as com port 3 and the other as 4. Has made my life
much simpler. 

KeySpan model USA 19 HS under $30 on the web. 

As they said LOAD the driver first for your operating system. You will need
to go to KeySpan to get it if you get an older version of SW.  DO NOT let
windows try and find it or allow windows update to "update" it. I did once
and it quit working untill I rolled it back.
