Windows 8 / 8.1 USB issues

[ka3jjz]

I've created links at the very bottom of this article to our forums where USB cable issues with Win 8.x are discussed - if you are having troubles with this (you're not alone), please check these threads out first...

Connecting scanners via USB - The RadioReference Wiki

Also don't ignore the Generic USB section in the article where we have links to the FTDI and Prolific websites (if the links need updating, feel free) as well as the item on USB cables and Drivers link

Hopefully Win10 will solve these issues, but I'm not holding my breath

Mike, you are an optimist. Don't hold your breath.

Well I did say I wasn't holding my breath - and when Win10 comes out, we'll undoubtedly do this all over again....Mike
