Comm does not work after KIO3B installation

Adde Tjernberg
Hi all!

I recently installed the KIO3B (the USB module) upgrade in my K3.

The K3 recognize the KIO3B board and I am able to choose "USb" under the
CONFIG->RS232 menu settings.

However, when connecting the K3 to my computer, the computer does not "see"
the radio. Nothing happens more than the computer says it does not
recognize the device.

The "old style" RS232 communication does not work either.

Before installing the KIO3B module I upgraded to latest fw (5.57).

Any ideas why it does not work?

Adde,

If you get any message at all on the computer, then the computer knows
that "some" device is connected.
If that is the case, you may need to load the driver manually - download
from the Elecraft website.
It is an FTDI USB to serial converter, and Windows 10 normally loads the
driver properly.  I don't know about other versions or non-Windows OS.
