Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KUSB vs K2
snip:
As far as Vista is concerned, I don't know. I've used various USB to
Serial adapters for my K2 with Windows 200 & Windows XP for years now and
they have worked very well, and the KUSB is nothing more than an USB to
Serial adapter, using afaik a widespread solution (chip) by Prolific
<http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/support.asp>.
FWIW: I have a USB to 4-serial port box and a 1-port USB to serial 'dongle'
style. Both are 'no-name' devices and both use FTDI chipsets
(http://www.ftdichip.com/). There are Vista certified FTDI drivers & they
work FB on Vista and XP with my K2 and a pile of assorted serial stuff (ICOM
CI-V, rotor, SWR bridge, ancient TNC, my buddy's Orion, etc. etc).
