[Elecraft] COM port not working

[Bill K9YEQ]

I use the Edgeport as well.  Not so cheap but excellent device.  I have no
real issues despite all the COM port connections I use.

The Edgeport 4 port serial to usb converters have been flawless. They use
one usb port and i can connect the whole K line into one of them.

You can get a board with a couple of real serial ports cheap and install it
easily. Then, you will have no more USB/RS232 problems.
