[Elecraft] K3 Send and receive data on a terminal program?

[David Fleming]

Hey, I remember Mirror! I used it for years.

I'm pretty sure DOS doesn't support USB. So the KUSB
won't work on DOS. You'll need a "real" serial port.
But Hyperterminal running on Vista should work. Are
you selecting the correct COM port in Hyperterminal?
