[Elecraft] K3: COM1 and COM3 question

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

Sorry to disagree, but there is no way to set the COM Port on either the 
K3 nor the P3.
Setting the baud rate - yes, but the computer (or the computer 
application software) determines which COM port is to be assigned to a 
particular connector or cable.
