It all worked as advertised, no problem, so it does work, at least sometimes. Just think, if the K3 had nothing but the USB interface how difficult this would be. At least, you could use a real serial port, if necessary. 73, doug From: "Dick Dievendorff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:39:19 -0700 Content-language: en-us The K3 Utility gets its inventory of COM ports from the registry. See HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM When a serial port device driver installs a COM device, it's supposed to make this registry entry. That's what we're looking for.

I have a USB to RS-232 converter on it shows in my system menu as COM4 but it will not appear in the selection menu of the K3 Utility. Only COM1, COM2, COM5, and COM6 appear on the K3 Utility PullDown Menu and they are used for other applications. I know COM4 works as I use it with WriteLog and that application will communicate with the K3 without problems. I have the K3 RS-232 set to 9600... Any suggestions ? My K3 s/n 1299.
