[Elecraft] MICROHAM USB III INTERFACE WITH K3 UTILITY DOES NOT WORK

[Greg Best]

I am still trying to get a K3 talking.  I have a connection through a
Microham USB III Interface box that connects the K3 RS232 port to my PC
running Win 7 64 Pro. The path is from the K3 to the Microham III USB
interface, then there is a straight USB connection from the Microham to the
PC.  I have downloaded the K3 Utility and tried to see if it will establish
connection with the PC but it will not.  COM port 1 is used.  The K3 setting
is currently at 38400 baud  but I also tried setting the K3 baud rate at
4800 and doing a power on/off  but with the same results.   I see the K3
utility screen on the PC step through the various baud rates but it will not
sync up to the K3. The PC recognizes the Microham USB interface when looking
at the Win 7 Device Manager but it indicates there is no device driver. I
don¹t always trust what the PC says though.  Can someone point me to a
device driver I can download and install. My K3 FW is Rev 5.38.
