LP-Bridge. I am going to play with this when I get home this
eveningbut...I have a question.
How does it interact with N1MM Logger? Are there issues?
I am using one real comm port (RS-232 type or COM1) to the K3. I a
Hi Barry,
I'm working on an app similar to what you describe. It will be similar to
K3-EZ, but instead of having all of the various options in a tab panel in one
window, there will be a number of 'mini' apps that can each be displayed in
it's own window. This will allow the user to pick which a
One side noteI HAVE used the K3 Utility through LPB for the sole purpose of
executing macros. Though as Bill said you should NEVER try to do a FW update
through LPB.

Oops...should have said "K3 Utility" instead of K3 above.

Which is why Barry suggested LP-Bridge, which allows multiple applications
to address the K3 simultaneously:

Regarding a separate IP address for the K3
Exactly...and it works GREAT for this exact purpose.
Other than the K3 Utility which is a necessity, I think LPB is the single most
useful
piece of software out there that supports the K3.

This problem has already been addressed by N8LP and that's why I
specifically mentioned LP-Bridge in my original post. The
availability of LP-Bridge is precisely what opens up the possibility
(and power) of using a simple display application like I described to
address the K3's limited display inf

If you want to share the K3's serial port, LP-BRIDGE does a great job. I
use Kcomm, PowerSDR-IF, EasyPal, Digipan at the same time (if a needed sound
card is available - I have 2 so far).
If you need more serial ports on your PC, I've found that PCI Express cards
are a good - though expensive -

Which is a very good reason for supporting the K3 as a network addressable
device. Each K3 should have its own IP address.
