Dick, I had no difficulty with the Elecraft supplied K3 utilities, but could not control the K3 from N1MM and XMLog. These logging programs were complied using Visual Basic and I was told that the Prolific driver and Visual Basic had a register conflict. When I bought the PCIe RS-232 card it cured my problems and I have not worried with it since. I got the latest Prolific drivers from the web site a little over a year ago, but have not updated them since I quit using the Elecraft supplied Prolific converter. Willis 'Cookie' Cooke K5EWJ
