K3 Utility Save Configeration freezes

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

I've found that all RS-232 to USB cables / converters are not created equal.  Some work.   Some do not.   However those containing the FTDI chipset do work.

I purchased mine from R T Systems.   100% succes on every application and computer I've tried.

I found that my computer has a serial connector so I ordered a serial cable.
The serial cable saves the configuration in a few seconds.  I will use the
serial cable and not use the serial to USB since it does not work.  I really
like this K3  Utility and find it very useful.
Thanks.
Wayne

Most of the issues with the Prolific cable/converters is with a flood of
fakes and Prolific's policy of changing the drivers to reject them. They can
be made to work using an older driver and disabling Windows Update for that
driver.

I have both, but I do prefer the FTDI.

I've just ordered a multi-port serial converter, so we'll see how that works
out.
