[RTTY] Rigblaster Plus & Windows 10

[Mark n2qt]

I've had good luck with the prolific drivers I've found on the elecraft website. 

http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm

I had 'real' prolific chips but the win10 drivers Microsoft thought were best wouldn't work.
I manually selected one of the ones from the elecraft site, and all was good.  The prolific
site said several generations of chips were not supported any more, maybe mine were
in that group.

If you lose the CD that comes with the product (been there, done that), good luck finding a driver on the internet that works or that doesn't come from a site loaded with viruses. Or porn advertisements.
