[Elecraft] K2 Control Cable Question - Recap

[Tony Estep]

Jim, you might try a virtual serial port program called Com0com. It is open
source and free. I have installed it and tried to get it to work, but
haven't fooled with it long enough to give it a full critique. It does
install and it does  create pairs of virtual serial ports. The ports do
appear in the port list of your software. That's all I can attest. I tried
briefly to send data out of one of the virtual ports and receive it on the
other, but it didn't work the first try, and I got distracted by a different
problem and never tried again.

Anyway, it's worth a try. Others report success with it. Plenty of info at:
