Hi Nels, If you want to use the XG3 with a USB port you'll need to order the KXUSB cable from Elecraft. This has a USB connector on one end and a 3.5mm stereo male plug on the other. The XG3 utility DOES have the ability to change com ports. Bring up the utility and click on the PORT tab, then click the drop down and select the appropriate port.
If you have the KXUSB adapter and want to change the port that Windows associates with it, follow these steps: 1) Click on Start, Control Panel, Device Manager. 2) Expand the PORTS by clicking on the arrow to the left. 3) Locate the device you want to change and right click on it. 4) Select PROPERTIES, and click on the ADVANCED button. >From here you can simply change the com port number using the drop down COM PORT NUMBER. 73, -Paul -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Elecraft-XG3-RF-generator-software-port-selection-tp7563080p7563086.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
