[Elecraft] [MM] W2 connection problem - NZ0T Comment

[Dan]

Thanks for the reply Bill, but I'm still confused.

Will you be running more than one application on the W2 through this port? 
If not, then what is the purpose of using the emulator program as opposed to 
defining a port via the operating system?  (If you are using usb/serial 
adaptors, you can define as many serial ports via the operating system as 
you like, right?)

Believe me, I'm not being critical.  I'm not a computer jock, and I'm trying 
to understand.

I use a logging program that I like very much (DX4WIN), and I would like to 
be able to use it at the same time as the K3 utility, both addressing the 
K3.  If I understand you correctly, I could make use of the emulator program 
to run both programs at the same time.

Thanks,
Dan - W4TQ

Hi Dan,

I am using this emulator program:

http://eterlogic.com/Products.VSPE.html

I use it to run two seperate programs from one port.  The program allows me 
to create a seperate virtual port.  I am using actual port 5 and I have 
created a virtual port 9 which can share applications.  The connection to 
the W2 is a Dynex DX-UBDB9 USB/serial adapter thru the Elecraft supplied 
serial cable directly to the W2 serial connection.

Hope this helps.
