HI
I installed Windows 10 and now it does not recognize the K3 by the CAT. I want to know if there is a new prolific driver.

> I want to know if there is a new prolific driver. If you have a legitimate Prolific device, check Windows Update. First thing to do is open Windows Device Manager, identify the USB to serial adapter, open the detail of that device, uninstall the device/driver, disconnect the device, perform a cold boot (In Windows 10, Right-click Power and select Restart) then reconnect the device and allow Windows Update to load the newest driver. If Windows Update fails to find/load a driver, your device is not using genuine Prolific hardware. 73, ...

I never could get it work. I finally gave up and got a new cable that uses an existing driver in Windows 10.

Richard, I found the same issue with my old prolific cable and K3 CAT
Do not ask my why, but after 2 or 3 connections and disconnections the DX LAB commander recognized again my K3 73 David EA3FYZ 2015-08-07 7:28 GMT+02:00 Richard Fjeld <[hidden email]>: > On 8/5/2015 4:49 PM, Alfredo Velez WP3C via Elecraft wrote: > >> HI >> >> I installed Windows 10 and now it does not recognize the K3 by the CAT.

Joe,
Quite likely true, but you can still use the older drivers that support the counterfeit chips on Windows 10; Apple has apparently locked out that option with the newest version of Mac OS X from what I have been reading elsewhere.

We converted from Prolific to FTDI chips on the KUSB many years ago. All current KUSBs (and KXUSBs) sold by us use the FTDI chip set.

Together with my K3 I ordered a KUSB back in 2008 (?) but never used it. Today I opened the package. The instruction sheet is Revision A, dated October 8, 2007. The enclosed mini-CD was unreadable, so I plugged the KUSB into my Windows 10 PC and wondered what would happen. A driver was found but the entry in Device Manager showed the famous yellow triangle plus an error messge "The device cannot start (Code 10)".
After reading this and other threads in the Elecraft reflector I didn't want to give up, but quickly found this solution: http://leftbraintinkering.blogspot.ch/2013/05/usb-to-serial-prolific-2303-device.html Works great! No need to throw away your old Prolific PL2303 device! 73, Markus HB9BRJ |

Bad advice.. prolific devices are terrible when data overruns happen and not
just for ham, but for gamers and labs too. This is another klugde to make these crappy drivers work under windows 10. Get an FTDI or SILabs chipset.. much more stable -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of hb9brj Sent: Friday, March 18, 2016 2:39 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Prolific driver windows 10 Together with my K3 I ordered a KUSB back in 2008 (?) but never used it.

Never had a problem with Prolific parts - except for the end-of-life
variants (HXA & XA) they removed from driver newer than v3.2. FTDI did the same thing for a pirated USB part. Here is the solution, without the actual v3.2 driver. Seems Prolific doesn't want that made available. Go figure. http://ke4rg.blogspot.com/ Ken - ke4rg -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Rick Ruhl Sent: Friday, March 18, 2016 4:05 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Prolific driver windows 10 Bad advice.. prolific devices are terrible when data overruns happen and not just for ham, but for gamers and labs too.
