I do not recommend disabling updates unless your ham station computer is
not connected to the internet.
Most ham computers ARE connected to the internet, and updates are
necessary to keep up with security issues.
If you are developing software, then an internet isolated computer is
necessary.
I also use a switch and it is a great solution.

You can also use device manager to remove the USB device you want to remove.
Reboot and see if that fixes your issue, if not,
It may require more research. If you are using RTTY software, that could also
be the culprit. In the latter, remove and reinstall after doing the previous.

Eric,
Are you kidding? Yes, the K2 can receive 630 meters with a suitable
transverter, but it would have to have an input/output frequency at 14
MHz or above.
The K3 with the new synthesizers and the upgrades to the KBPF3 can tune
down to that band, as can the K3S with the KBPF3 option.

Hi Reed
YES ! DirecTV receivers are horrible racket makers.
#1 I built a new power cord for the receivers wired into a 12V ASTRON regulated
12v supply. No More Switcher Wall Warts allowed at my QTH.
#2 The HDMI cable from the Rcvr to the TV set has 12 turns through a stack of
TWO of the 2.4"

the cable and switching it to use WiFi instead resolved it.

How are you connecting the KRC2 to the K3S? If you are using the AUXBUS
