One characteristic of the KUSB from Elecraft is that its jack screws can firmly
attach the cable to the K3. Not all USB to Serial adapters have this “gender”.
I find some USB adapters on Amazon with jack screws and others with nuts to
attach to screws. If you use a cable with jack nuts, it may

I have used USB to Serial adapters made by FTDI, itself, for years. These
are of the highest quality. I have also used, successfully, Sabrent and
others including ones with multiple ports using their chip. You can
purchase sub-assemblies and complete cables directly from FTDI through
their USA
See also my Contest University presentation, "Everything You Need to Know
About USB and Serial Interfaces" (https://bit.ly/USBserial) for photos of
these adpaters plus tips on managing all those virtual serial ports.

Even the so-called FTDI cables on NewEgg, eBay and Amazon are imitations
that fail. The best place is through a amateur radio dealer for us hams.
I used to sell the PL-2303 USB>Serial cables and had to watch out for
imitations that didn't work from wholesalers.

If you order something else with the KUSB from DX Engineering you can also
get free shipping!

for a k3
Hi
I have new Windows 10 PC and
I ordered my KXUSB-A cable from DX Engineering. Closer to me, faster shipping.
I see you have a 6 area call. If you are in CA then ordering from Elecraft
should be faster. For those of us on the east coast there are alternatives.

You don't need to talk to a human to order a KUSB, it's on the
Elecraft website.

Elecraft has cables that work. Also RT Systems have good cables. Beware of
cables which do not use the FTDI chipset. Some “others” may work and some may
not thus contributing to issues.
Get the good ones and forget the cheap ones.

Hi
I have new Windows 10 PC and everything is a software battle!
What I need now is a SERIAL to USB cable for a k3.
If you know exactly where to purchase it that would help.
Thanks Richard Wa6kyr
