The K3 and P3 Utility programs should not be run through LP Bridge. LP-Bridge does not transfer everything used by the Utilities.

Once you have one application connected to the P3 serial port, that application blocks any other applications from using the serial port the K3 the P3 are using. So if you are trying to use the same serial port for more than one software application it will not use the P3 port. It will give you a port in use error message. "


Isn't LP-Bridge going to allow more than one application to talk to the serial port? I thought that is one of its main purposes.

alternatively and much simpler than LP-Bridge to solve this you can use vspe from eterlogic. This can create a splitter to allow any number off applications to access a virtual port that is all routed into one physical Comm port. works for me. I often have logger32, MMSSTV FLDIGI all working at once. I can even have K3 utilities and K3eze all connected at the same time using VSPE.

All that said it seems that the OP cant even connect one program. Id also check that that all the cabling is correct. IE PC to P3 and P3 to K3 aren't reversed. try removing the P3 from the picture just to double check that the serial port to K3 is working. also shut down LPbridge and try using the port directly with only K3 utilities using that port. I am not totally familiar with LP bridge so I am not sure if there is extra configuration if using the P3.
