I've found that all RS-232 to USB cables / converters are not created equal. Some work. Some do not. However those containing the FTDI chipset do work.
I purchased mine from R T Systems. 100% succes on every application and computer I've tried. https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/ 73 Bob, K4TAX <https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/> Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2015 07:24:08 -0700 (MST) From: way235 via Elecraft<elecraft@mailman.qth.net> To:elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Utility Save Configeration freezes Message-ID:<1442067848692-7607476.p...@n2.nabble.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I found that my computer has a serial connector so I ordered a serial cable. The serial cable saves the configuration in a few seconds. I will use the serial cable and not use the serial to USB since it does not work. I really like this K3 Utility and find it very useful. Thanks.
