Brian,

It works for me.
Be aware that there are several 'devices' that can be detected by K3 
Utility that are not actually a K3 (printer, scanner, many others).  In 
these cases, the Port Test will work because the device echoes something 
to K3 Utility.  This is especially true if you are using a USB to serial 
converter - Windows sometimes gets the ports mixed up.
To confirm that the port you have selected in K3 Utility is really the 
COM port that is connected to the K3, go to the Command window and type 
in some mundane command - like "k3;" - if the K3 responds, you have the 
correct port selected, otherwise, go to device manager and sort out 
which com ports are configured.

I just tried it here using K3 Utility 1.2.8.10 and my K3 loaded with 
3.41/2.37 firmware.  I know this is Field Test firmware levels, but I do 
not believe there have been any configuration save changes that are recent.

73,
Don W3FPR
