KUSB and Windows 7

[Kenneth Christiansen]

Hi.

I converted two of my computers to Windows 7 this week end. I found I
had to use a new
driver on the KUSB (Universal Serial Bus Adapter) for the K3.

It is Prolific, Driver Date 7/17/2009, Driver Version 3.3.5.122. I
transfered the new
software to the K3 using the new Elecraft K3 utility. I was also able to
use MixW to
control the K3. There is a PDF version of the MixW help files that will
work with
both Vista and Windows 7. The computers seem to work well so far. I hope
this
information can be useful to the Elecraft group.

73 and good luck.

PS. I got the CQ WW16 DX Contest award of 1ST PLACE SINGLE OPERATOR
LOW POWER CW NORTH DAKOTA #7 10TH AREA WITH A TOTAL SCORE
OF 11544. I did it exactly one month before my K3 came so it was my last
contest
using my IC746PRO. It would have been much easier with the K3.

Glad to hear it, Ken. I have been using 7Beta and RC for the last year or
so.  Love it.  I have it running on a netbook, a dual core Atom micro PC and
a full-fledged desktop. All show improved performance.  Some stuff to learn
and get used to but not bad.


73,
