multi port usb hub and k3 KUSB

[Gary Slagel]

Hi guys,
 
I've got my new k3 hooked to the laptop using the KUSB and it worked FB first time but, I'm going to be out of usb ports.  I've got 2 ports.  I'd like to use the KUSB to the k3, a USB Winkey keyer and also a USB mouse.... and who knows what down the road. 
 
Has anyone used some kind of a usb hub to hook multiple devices to the laptop simultaneously? 
 
Thanks for any help.
 
Gary/N0SXX

Gary,
Not exactly ur situation but I have done it with a desktop. I do recommend a hub with its own power supply. They are priced  inexpensively.

  I have two such "generic" hubs hooked up to my laptop and they
  work perfectly with Win XP.

Use a powered hub rather than non-powered.

I seem to recall the one I have at the shop is powered and has 12 USB ports.
Don't recall the brand or model but it works nice between multiple printers,
scanners and external HD units.

Hello Garry,

I have an 8-port hub running on this XP machine,
and a 4-port on a laptop with XP.

Some have had problems with non-powered hubs if other devices on the
hub are busy and active at the same time.  Apparently it doesn't
happen all the time, but it does happen for some.

  Yes...both of them are powered from the master UPS.

I have my microHam (x2) and KUSB all on a separate 7 port hub (and other gear on that and on an identical second 7 port hub too).

Thanks for the responses. 
 
I didn't realize these things were so common place and cheap and worked so well.  I've got a powered hub coming from Amazon as well as a usb keyboard because I discovered my laptop had no provision for a regular external keyboard!

Not wishing to prolong this thread further, but I think you'll find that 'regular keyboard' nowdays means USB !
And fast overtaking that is a BlueTooth one.
