Sounds like you have all the bases covered Chuck and it must be very
frustrating! Just for your information, I use an IO Gear GUC232A USB to
Serial adapter cable (around $30) and it works flawlessly with the KIO2 on
the K2. I'm using it with various software programs including: HRDeluxe,
N1MM Logger and XMLog. Basically I just installed the driver, checked the
Device Manager to see what COM port was assigned to it, plugged in my
"special" Elecraft cable, set the software programs to the correct COM port
and it's been running everything FB for the last couple of years.
My laptop is a Compaq Presario 2500 with 3 USB ports and no serial ports and
I use one of the USB ports to connect the GUC232A. There has got to be a
solution to this problem for you. I'm a little concerned with your
statement that: "Granted the Serial USB adapter cables came with a variety
of other devices, . . ." The reference to "other devices" is a bit puzzling
to me as mine only came with the cable and driver CD.
Hope you get this going so you can enjoy "tinkering" with the software! 73

Subject: [Elecraft] Continuing Serial (RS232, DP9) to USB Adapter cable
My K2 USB saga continues.
I have tired several different Serial (RS 232, DB-9)-USB adapter cables
plugged directly into the USB connection from the motherboard,
Granted the Serial USB adapter cables came with a variety of other devices,
hence my original question about drivers or construction. It would appear
that the quality of construction varies from cable to cable. I had assumed
that the design and system protocol for Serial to USB adapter would be the
same; that evidently may not be the case.
