That's because most, if not all USB adapter vendors use generic drivers.

Hi Julian,
Its perfectly OK to run the LPA at 10W for long TX periods on WSPR and
related modes. The K3 bottom case area is designed as its LPA heatsink
and its normal for that to be quite warm after long TX periods. And
we're -way- below the max temp specs for the PAs in the LPA.

Hi Dan,
As long as you are a CW fan, the K1 will do a very nice job for you. It's
small, but very capable. Hopefully you opted for the 4 band version, but
perhaps just a couple of bands are sufficient. That's the biggest decision
when buying a K1. I'd suggest adding the noise blanker and

The USB to Serial chipset could be built onto the KIO3. Then the K3 itself
would be the USB/Serial adapter. The manufacturer of the chipset would provide
the drivers. The FTDI chip would be a good choice. The FTDI drivers seem to
work well on OS X and Windows. Not sure about Linux. But, like

Its pointless discussing hardware design changes for the K3, the K3's design
is carved in rock. It would probably be a good design consideration for the

I actually had the tuner off. I re-enabled it, tuned, and turned it back

I don't understand why that worked, but I'm happy it did.
