It took a couple of minutes for the device driver to be installed the first time. There were a series of “toaster popups” in the lower right corner that described progress… I think I did have the other end of the cable into the radio for this, but I don’t recall. Patience is definitely required. I most recently did this at last year’s Visalia DX convention with a new device (a K-Pod) with slow wifi and my CEO and customers were waiting. I remember it well.
I sometimes delete the existing driver, then ask Windows to go get it again.

All was fine until I plugged the USB cable from my K3 into the computer and nothing. No recognition what so ever. I went to the Elecraft site and downloaded and installed FTDI and Prolific drivers though I think it needed FTDI. Still nothing. I'm puzzeled though as I downloaded two different FTDI driver packages. One was an install package and the other is a folder with no obvious setup file for installation. The folder is labeled CDM v2.12.26 WHQL Certified. That's probably the one I needed to install but am at a loss in how to do that. Some advice would be appreciated.
