KUSB Universal Serial Bus Adapter?

[Bob-165]

Must we pay $39 for Elecraft's KUSB Universal Serial Bus Adapter, or
will one for $2 as seen offered through Ebay work?

Thanks

Bob,

No you do not have to buy the adapter from Elecraft.

You can buy the one from Elecraft that is known to work, or you can buy
the $2 one and see if it works - some may, some may not, it is a gamble.

That ine from Ebay likely has some shipping charges with it too, so it
will cost you perhaps $7 by the time you are done.  One can buy only 6
of the inexpensive adapters to try before expending more than the cost
of the Elecraft 'known to work' model.

The choice is entirely yours.

I would suggest a better solution for those who are using a standard PC
(one that will accept adapter cards), the you purchase an add-on serial
card.  That is a more reliable (and less hassle) solution than depending
on USB to serial adapters.  A PCI card with 2 serial ports can be found
in the $25 price range.

Maybe.

Depends

I put mine in the PC and it worked first time .....

These are very difficult beasts sometimes ... It was easier to throw in the
box with the rest of the K3 bits for me!

Less hassle too!

I use IO Gear GUC 232A - got it at local computer shop - works perfectly
with K3 and K2 in all modes.  Don't remember the price. YMMV.  73 -- Don
