OT-USB Serial Adapter
Locked
 
|
Hi All,
For what it's worth, Buy.com currently has a Keyspan USB Serial Adapter on sale for $25 (reg. price $40). It's the model USA-19HS. I don't have one of these (I use a couple of Belkin adapters), but I've seen other posts by folks who are using some Keyspan model successfully to connect their K3 to their laptops. I can't attest as to whether or not this model works with a K3, but perhaps others can. Anyway, if you are looking for such an adapter, this might be of interest. These Buy.com specials tend to be good only for a day or two.

As I noted earlier it may be dependent on the O/S you are using.
I am using Windows Vista 64-bit and had to go for a serial interface PCI card, that solved the problem. 73 Len SM7BIC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Yarnes" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 1:05 PM Subject: [Elecraft] OT-USB Serial Adapter > Hi All, > > For what it's worth, Buy.com currently has a Keyspan USB Serial Adapter on > sale for $25 (reg. price $40).

Hi,
In fact, USB serial adapter is very cheap in Hong Kong. For only US$7, you will get a high quality one. Whenever you visit Hong Kong, try to buy some electronic products, the prices are far cheaper here. 73 Johnny Siu VR2XMC --- 2008年12月30日 星期二，Dave Yarnes <[hidden email]> 寫道﹕ > 寄件人: Dave Yarnes <[hidden email]> > 主題: [Elecraft] OT-USB Serial Adapter > 收件人: [hidden email] > 日期: 2008 12 30 星期二 下午 8:05 > Hi All, > > For what it's worth, Buy.com currently has a Keyspan > USB Serial Adapter on sale for $25 (reg. price $40). > It's the model USA-19HS.

Following several recommendations on the list I purchased the Keyspan
interface after having nothing but problems with a Prolific 2303 (of which I have several, and which have otherwise always worked fine for various ham radio applications -- Orion, GPS freq. standard, et al). I had numerous consistent issues trying to use these on the K3 -- dropped links, couldn't link, you name it. The Keyspan interface and drivers has so far worked perfectly on both Mac and PC with the K3, with no glitches.

I've used the Keyspan as well as an Ethernet/serial adapter to connect
a laptop to the K3. Both work fine, but the Prolific (KUSB) adapter seems a bit faster on program loading and bulk data - the configuration settings, for example.. The only purpose for using the Ethernet adapter was to operate the K3 remotely, not for program loading. I found that it was a little more convenient to keep the KUSB with the radio and use the Keyspan for all other serial connections, rather than moving the Keyspan to the K3 when it was needed. The footprint of the KUSB is also smaller than the Keyspan. Just leave it connected full-time..... If anyone is interested in getting the Ethernet adapter model number, let me know. It's a B&B Electronics device, but I don't have the model number with me. 73, matt On Tue, 30 Dec 2008 05:05:50 -0700, you wrote: >Hi All, > >For what it's worth, Buy.com currently has a Keyspan USB Serial Adapter on >sale for $25 (reg. price $40).

Grant and All,
As a follow-up, I just received an email from Buy.com with their latest "specials". They have a Keyspan USB Serial Adapter, model USA 19HS, on sale for $25 with free shipping. The regular price is supposedly $40. There may be better bargains out there, but I do see a lot of these devices advertised at around the $40 price.

Dear Dave,
I'm using exactly that unit with my K3. Works flawlessly. You'll need a straight-through serial cable to connect it to your K3. Be sure you have the latest driver for your OS. (I use OSX here) Get the driver at <http://www.keyspan.com/downloads>. --Oliver W6ODJ On 30 Dec 2008, at 4:05 AM, Dave Yarnes wrote: > Hi All, > > For what it's worth, Buy.com currently has a Keyspan USB Serial > Adapter on sale for $25 (reg. price $40).

Hi,
I've been using the KUSB in my Vista 64-bit PC and it works flawlessly. I had some trouble to install it but I found a driver somewhere that made it work perfectly, at least with the K3 utility and LP-Bridge/PowerSDR, the softwares I've tested so far. 73, André, PT7AT
