[Elecraft] Info - driver - Gigaware USB cable

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I did purchase a Gigaware USB to serial converter cable from Radio Shack 
as I recall.   Loaded the drivers that came on the CD with the 
purchase.  Spent several hours over several days trying to get the thing 
to work.  It would almost work but gave me errors or didn't work at all. 
    Finally threw the entire thing in the trash and uninstalled the 
drivers.

Purchased a USB to serial cable from R T Systems.  All issues were 
resolved and every thing works as it should.
