[Elecraft] K3: Help DxLabSuite Commander to K3

[KD7YZ Bob]

Howdy K3' people:

I had been using "Commander" on my FT-950.
I just re-read the DxLabSuite pages about Commander and Elecraft.
Tried RS232 cable from K3 to RS232 on Computer (Win-7-64bit)named as
COM1 with 38.4-N-1-OFF
Tried the KXUSB cable from K3-rs232 to USB on Computer, named as COM2
with 38.4-N-1-off

Tried some variations of above WRT Flow-Control x-on/x-off and so forth.

At no time did 'Commander' read the frequency of K3.

The only control I saw was when I used the Config of Commander to try
PTT. It did toggle K3 to xmit and back off.

I am guessing I need some different cable.

I'd already ordered the larger ATU (500) but haven't seen it arrive yet.
Does that connect to the "ACC" conn on back of K3?

Also have three transverters arriving soon. Just wondering if some
interconnection of these will make the computer wake-up to the fact she
is supposed to run the K3 so I can sleep.
