KUSB driver

What driver do I need for the KUSB device? I have a K2 and am connecting it to a W10 machine that has no internet connection. Where would I get it? Can I put it on a thumb drive and copy it onto the W10 machine? Where should it go on that device?

TIA.

Re: KUSB driver

All my WIN10 machines had no issue with drivers for FTDI devices.
Is yours an older Prolific KUSB?

Jim,

You can download the FTDI driver from
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.

Yes, you can put it on a thumb drive and install it on your Win10
machine with no internet connection.

I have no idea. It is a KUSB I just bought recently from Elecraft.

When I plugged it in, it wasn't recognized, new device found, etc. I thought the driver would be there, like so many are, but no.

Is there a secret to plugging things in? I turned the machine off, plugged it in and restarted the machine.

It found my Funcube Pro Plus before, no problem.

Thanks!

Re: KUSB driver

I'm no expert but after having trouble with another device with an FTDI USB to
Serial chip in it, I found that I needed to manually install the Virtual Com
Port (VCP) driver. I believe that this driver used to come separately but is
now part of a package from FTDI and requires checking a box during installation.
Don't ask me where; I've forgotten the complete process.

If windows isn't finding the device you may have to install the driver
manually. No big deal.

Download the driver from Elecraft onto a thumb drive. Browse to the file
on the thumb drive and run the setup. Follow the instructions. Once
installed, possibly after a reboot, plug the device in a USB port. If
your going to be plugging/unplugging the device make sure you plug it
back in the same port.

You should be able to see the port the install created by going to
Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> Ports.
