[Elecraft] KUSB - non radio question

[Rick Bates]

The method that I use takes a few minutes.  You plug in the USB dongle then
via the device manager TELL the system what port to assign to it.  Then you
move the dongle to another USB port and do the same thing until all USB
ports have been used.  So no matter what port you plug that dongle into, the
same com port comes up for that device, every time.

You can do the same for any other USB serial dongle so the result is dongle
A always get com x and dongle b gets com y etc.

This method has worked well except for the multiport (4 port) dongle, but
eventually it settled down.

Tedious, but effective.

...And whatever you do, do NOT alternate amongst USB ports.  If you do, 
your COM ports will change.

Believe me, this comes from experience at work programming and using 
diag software on radios.  There is a way you can keep this from 
happening, I've never learned how to do it, I just plug into the same 
USB each time.
