The difficulty is obtaining device drivers for Windows Vista 64, not the more common Windows Vista 32. Drivers are available from Microsoft Update for the Prolific chipset USB to Serial adapters (such as the KUSB) for Windows Vista 32.

Hi all,I have been using my old PC with Winndows XP ever since I got my K3 last April without any trouble downloading F/W into the K3 using the Prolific USB converter. Now having got a new HP (64bit) with Vista installed I am stuck as Vista does not support the Prolific or vice versa. (HP does not sell any plug in USB/serial cards whih would have been a natural solution) I have asked Elecraft for support and I trust they are working on it. Gary replied promptly with a possible solution. However it turned out that his recommended converter Keyspan usa-19hs including a serial cable cannot be found in SM and Amazon.com as an example does not export those precious little gems outside NA. Question to other EU K3 owners using a PC with Vista installed: How have you solved this matter? Many thanks in advance Lennart SM7BIC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
