Elecraft has switched to an FTDI-based version of the adapter. I ordered one recently after confirming that fact with Support. It works like a charm on Vista and, given the experience of others, would likely solve your issues on Win7. The new adapter replaced a Prolific-based adapter from Elecraft that was, basically, unusable with anything but the K3 Utility. The web site hasn't been updated to reflect the change to FTDI yet. ----- 73, Stan - KR7C -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KUSB-Prolific-and-Win7-Problems-tp5508912p5510486.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
