Lennart and All,
I'm a couple days behind on some of my emails, so if this has already been
answered to your satisfaction, please excuse the bandwidth.
As for Serial/USB adapters for use with Vista, my trusty old Belkin seems to
work just fine with my K3. I downloaded updated drivers for it, but that
was easy. I think my model # for the Belkin is F5U106, or something like
that. Actually, I have two Belkins, each slightly different, but they both
work. So, I tend to recommend Belkin when these questions come up. My
Vista machine is an HP.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 and Windows Vista ?
Hi all,I have been using my old PC with Winndows XP ever since I got my K3
last April without any trouble downloading F/W into the K3 using the
Prolific USB converter.
Now having got a new HP (64bit) with Vista installed I am stuck as Vista
does not support the Prolific or vice versa.
(HP does not sell any plug in USB/serial cards whih would have been a
natural solution)
I have asked Elecraft for support and I trust they are working on it. Gary
replied promptly with a possible solution. However it turned out that his
recommended converter Keyspan usa-19hs including a serial cable cannot be
found in SM and Amazon.com as an example does not export those precious
little gems outside NA.
Question to other EU K3 owners using a PC with Vista installed: How have
you
solved this matter?
Many thanks in advance
Lennart
