[WT-support] Elecraft K3, Win-Test & communications problems

[Toby Deinhardt]

I Just realized that one thing might not be 100% clear. The results 
below were obtained on a Apple MacBook Pro running Windows and not 
MacOS. Boot Camp enables Windows to run as a "native" OS on Apple 
Macintosh Intel hardware.

Win-Test is of course a Windows application.

after doing some more testing, I now feel that the driver delivered
along with the KUSB interface is buggy and needs to be updated.

Before testing the "new" Prolific driver, I tried updating my MacBook
Pro to Leopard (newest version of MacOs incl. Boot Camp update) which
did not improve things. After the installation of a "new" driver, the
communications problem *appears* to have been solved - knock on wood. A
2.5 hour test using the Generic-Windows-wd_pl2303h-hx-x_v20019v2021
driver from Prolific did not turn up any communication errors between
the K3 and Win-Test. Because the errors with the old driver were very
sporadic, I can not be sure yet, if this really is the solution.
