[Elecraft] USB to Serial Ports adapter: a product test

[Kenneth A Christiansen]

Hi Don and the group

Thank you Don for the information on the PowerWerx cable.  I did not know it existed and am sure a year ago when I bought a new USB cable form my Wouxun that they did not have it. The new USB cable did not work just as the original did not work. Thanks again for the updated information.

I have only 3 computers all using Windows 8.1 and so far a work around but haven't used it for a month so don't know if it is working today or next time I need it. Please respond here on the reflector as I know other people need this information just as I have for almost 2 years. If possible it would be nice to use the KX3 USB adaptor also.
