[Elecraft] K3: COM1 and COM3 question

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Is, perhaps, someone being confused because they see that they must select
the com port associated with the radio in the program at the computer (just
as it is in the Elecraft Utility programs), they think that it is at the
radio that selection is being made - just as they enter frequency and other
data at the computer that changes things at the radio? 

Whew  - that was a sentence ...

I am sure you are correct.  I don't own a K3.  But the original post 
mentioned two K3 operating positions each
controlled by separate computers.  One computer uses Com1 on the RS232 port 
and the other uses Com3.

There was no question ... but a request for an explanation.

Perhaps you can provide the explanation.

Thanks

Jim, VE3CI
