I've used the Keyspan as well as an Ethernet/serial adapter to connect a laptop to the K3. Both work fine, but the Prolific (KUSB) adapter seems a bit faster on program loading and bulk data - the configuration settings, for example..
The only purpose for using the Ethernet adapter was to operate the K3 remotely, not for program loading. I found that it was a little more convenient to keep the KUSB with the radio and use the Keyspan for all other serial connections, rather than moving the Keyspan to the K3 when it was needed. The footprint of the KUSB is also smaller than the Keyspan. Just leave it connected full-time..... If anyone is interested in getting the Ethernet adapter model number, let me know. It's a B&B Electronics device, but I don't have the model number with me. 73, matt On Tue, 30 Dec 2008 05:05:50 -0700, you wrote: >Hi All, > >For what it's worth, Buy.com currently has a Keyspan USB Serial Adapter on >sale for $25 (reg. price $40).
