HiThe first thing I would do is to uninstall any drivers for serial ports you have on your system using the device manager. In the process, you will see a check box to delete the driver. Select this.Reboot. Next download the ftdi drivers and do the install of the driver software. Then, plug in the USB to serial adapters and let windows do its thing. After this, go into the device manager, select the unknown or serial device and install the driver, pointing to the folder containing the driver from ftdi.If this doesn't work, you may have hidden devices. To determine what they are search in Google for uninstall hidden devices. Follow that and repeat.That should do the trick.73 Tom

In the interim I had other radios to use. When I plugged the USB cables from both the KAT500 and K3 neither were recognized by the computer running Win 7 and drivers would not install after going through the usual process. The computer is acting like there were never any FTDI drivers and of course there were as I used the K3, KX3 and a USB8 relay board that uses the same driver. Anyone else experience this problem or have any suggested solutions? 73 Rick, W2JAZ ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
