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

[Dick Dievendorff]

I had similar (lack of) luck with Hyperterm, TeraTerm, and TinyTerm on
Windows Vista with a USB to Serial adapter (I tried several).  So I'm
building a terminal page into the K3 Utility.

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?
