Hi Jim

I use the K3 with TRX-Manager and my 4el SteppIR.
The K3 is on COM 13 (an FTDI USB-serial adapter)  and the SteppIR is
'Synchro' on COM 12 4800 baud.

The SteppIR happily follows my K3 around.  
 
Disclaimer - I am a Beta tester for TRX.

PS - I know Laurent, the author of TRX will be tweaking his software to take
advantage of the K3's attributes.
