K3 - KUSB and Mac

Chuck Teeter KE9CE
Hello:

I just had an issue with getting my K3 to communicate with the driver on my
iMac.  I followed the directions on the Elecraft page, downloaded the
Prolific driver for Mac OS10, and ran the install.  Sadly, it didnĀ¹t work.
In trying to troubleshoot the problem, I spoke with a fellow ham, Rick
Prather, and with Gary Surrency at Elecraft.  As it turns out, the KUSB no
longer uses the Prolific chipset, but rather that from FTDC.  You can get
the set for your version of the Mac OS at
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.  After you download and install
this driver, you will connect immediately to the K3 via the Utility.  Thanks
to Rick and Gary for their help.

73,
