"Any simple USB to serial converter will do the job ... The only pitfall to avoid is to find a USB to serial converter based on an FTDI chip as the Prolific based converters sometimes have driver issues with software written in certain languages or compiled with certain Microsoft compilers using the Microsoft serial comm library. 73, ...

After having some problems with my old Prolific-based USB converters, I purchased some Startech ICUSB2321F FTDI USB/Serial converters on eBay. www.ebay.com/itm/250908534890?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 $20 each plus $4 shipping. They work great. I use Vista 32-bit Home Premium. I just plugged in the Startech units, the drivers were automatically found, and everything was up and running in seconds. I'm using these with my K3, KPA500, XG3, and MFJ-998.
