[Elecraft] K3 Com Port Question

[Bill Wiehe]

I need some tutelage on Com Ports. The K3 and P3 both use Com Port 6 for access to the computer. Com Port 6 is also used but the HRD/DM780/USB Navigator and MMTTY. This is not a real problem as I do not use all these "programs" at the same time. However, it would be nice to be able to access the K3 Utility w/o having to shut down other programs. Being really unfamiliar with Com Port stuff, how does one change com ports for various drivers/programs?

I did try to change the com port by just selecting a new, unused, one for the list in the  K3 Utility but nothing happened.

Thanks in advance for the tutelage.
