[Elecraft] K2 fldigi with USB adapter problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Ron,

I cannot speak specifically about the adapter you are using, but many 
will not work properly at the K2 baud rate of 4800 bps.  The one that I 
have tried which works is an Edgeport 4 port adapter.  I have heard that 
the FTDI chipset adapers work better than those with the Prolific 
chipset, but that is just information I have gathered by hear-say.  All 
I can state with certainty is that my Edgeport adapter works with the K2 
using Windows XP and Ham Radio Deluxe/DM780.

73,
