True, BUT - K3 Utility's Port tab contains a "Test Communications"
button that works very well to confirm that the computer is connected to
the K3 and the right port is selected on the computer.
Yes, HRD will do that verification too, but it is much more involved to
set up than K3 Utility. If you are going to actually use HRD, then
Dave's suggestion is a good one.
