K4 CAT Control

I just received my K4. There is a learning curve with the radio new
nomenclature to understand on the new platform. I'm an old dog and there are
few new tricks. So to the point. I connected the K4 to my PC with the
supplied type B USB cable. I expected to find a new Com Port on Device
Manager. However I found under Other Devices, 2 Dual RS232 icons. When
looking at the Properties tab, there is no driver. I can find no reference
on the Elecraft website or on the internet about which driver might work.
I'm sure I'm missing some simple step, but I guess I don't understand why
their would not be a driver and further, how would I direct my software to
the Dual RS232 port?

Thanks in advance for any help.

73,

Windows latest updates no longer include the FTDI drivers, you have to
install then separately. After you do that com ports should appear in
windows device manager.
