[Elecraft] using Virtual serial Port 64

[david Moes]

Ill give LP-Bridge a try

I thinks its more than what I wanted but if it will do the job that's 
fine. What I had before was a background program that allowed any 
application attach to Com5 at the same time  at any speed.   while the 
K3 was physically hooked up to Com1 fixed at .      I had issues however 
with a few progs like FLdigi Gateway and Logger32 if some other program 
using the port was still open.   If I am reading correctly LP-Bridge may 
solve this.

one question   I have been using RTS for keying to transmit when using a 
PC based DVK  and sending CW with the DTS   will this still work  or 
will LP_bridge have timing issues

Oh yea   while shopping for a computer discovered that most MOBOs still 
have real com and parallel  ports.  they just need a cable with 
connector on one end to go to mother board  and DB9 at the other to make 
it accessible.   only a very few that were mainly targeting the gamers 
with mega fast busses  and designed around overclocking etc that 
didn't.     no mucking around with USB to Serial


Thanks Dave VE3DVY
