[Elecraft] K3 battery and RRC1258?

[Fred Jensen]

I'm fairly new to the RR-1258 too, however I've noticed that things are 
sensitive to the order in which stuff is turned on/off.  The virtual 
ports seem to come from the RR box.  On my computer [Win 7], the Device 
Mgr says the ports are there but they really aren't ... they're just 
reserved for when the computer and RR are connected via the USB.  If the 
USB isn't connected, N1MM+ can't find the RR ports

N1MM+ seems to want the CAT port to be RR1258 COM1 which on mine ends up 
being COM15.

I don't know about the batter issue, but when my K3 is in TERM mode and 
I'm connected to the remote, most of the indications I see seem to be 
coming from the remote, not my control K3.
