[Elecraft] MAC KX3 utility

[David Fleming]

Robert,

If you are seeing only the bluetooth ports, then the USB/Serial driver is either too old or not installed properly on Snow Leopard. What type of USB/Serial adapter are you using? If it is a Prolific based device, you will need to install the most current driver. This one:

If it is a FTDI based device, install this one:

http://w4smt.com/KX3/FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_17.dmg

This should solve the problem.

David, W4SMT
