[Elecraft] K3: Linux and HRD not on speaking terms

[Troy,w6hv]

I'm having the same problem. One big drawback for me is that I am very new 
to Linux. I tried N4PY's Pegasus Plus. When attempting to set up the com 
port, it said every port was "already in use"???

Gotta luv the K-Line, but I just cannot make the change to Linux due to
the lack of a K3 rig control program that will operate under Linux. I
have been playing with various distros and have pretty much settled on
Linux Mint 13 Maya. It does everything I routinely need except: It will
not run HRD under Wine.

I get the program to load, however I cannot get Wine to recognize the
USB port serial converter. Linux says it is there - Wine knows nothing
of it. Hence, HRD has no means to communicate with the K3. Has anyone
found a way to run HRD (old version only used for rig control) under
Wine on Linux? I have not gone to the dark side of virtual anything and
would prefer not to.

It may be that I will set up the K3 on its own dedicated Winners
computer and the desk computer for everything else on Linux. Easier, but
where's the challenge?

Suggestions or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill K-Line
