[Elecraft] KXUSB

[Don Wilhelm]

Paul,

I have not looked at the KXSER cable in the amp manual, but I am 
assuming it is the same as that shown in the back of the XG3 manual.  
You can download that manual to check - I know that one works.

I run only Windows - tried Linux some time ago and while it worked OK 
for an isolated machine, I could not get a good way to link it to my 
Windows network (important because I use a single fileserver on the 
network) - Tried several SAMBA configurations, but was not successful.
That was the time Windows 98 ran out of support, and I ended up buying 
enough Win 7 installations for all the computers on my network.  
Recently I have been buying computers pre-loaded with Win 10 Pro.

73,
Don W3FPR
