RE: [Elecraft] KUSB question
The KUSB is a USB to Serial adapter cable, about 6' long, with a USB connector on one end and a shell containing a DB-9 connector and some electronics on the other end. If 6' is long enough for you, then that's all you need. There's a picture of the KUSB in the K3 Utility Help. You can install the K3 Utility from the Elecraft web site before your K3 arrives.

Thanks Dick! I didn't realize the cable was included as part of the adapter.

There is nothing unique about the Elecraft one apart from the fact that they have tested it and support it. But yours might work, and might even have the same chipset and use the same drivers. - Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/KUSB-question-tp16995092p16995109.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] KUSB question
More likely than not it'll work if you've had previous success. The KUSB is tested with every K3 Utility revision, but no USB to Serial Adapter is intentionally excluded.
