Den
I was a fairly early adopter of the MK2R+ upgrding from another brand that
used the LPT port for its functionality. I used it with XP first with LPT
as at the time I wasn't convinced about the whole USB what with what seemed
like all sorts of reliability issues with USB at the time - and it felt
comfortable depending on what had worked in the past.
A short while after, having had to upgrade a computer motherboard, the lpt
port was no longer an option and I moved to implement the USB and realised
that it worked and frankly worked seamlessly with no problems.
I then upgraded to Win 7 64 and again no problems and that's been through
many a contest battle in SSB and RTTY with a bit of CW too.
It does make sense however to have a look at the proven configurations. I
even print them and add them to the "manual" so I can quickly do any
necessary reconfigurations even if my internet is down.
GL but MK2R+ is outstanding and even though lpt has been with us reliably
over the years, USB is the current and the future and is quite reliable to
boot. Indeed I do have other USB-based Micro-ham devices on my computer and
it all works wonderfully well - but its not "intuitive" this is one area
where you do need in my view the various references - manual, configuration
diagrams/recommendations etc.
