[Elecraft] K3S USB RS232 P3 Conundrum

[tom at k5rc.com]

Looks interesting but there is nothing about my exact needs, like K3S support with the new USB interface, interface with the CAT input of the Acom 2000A and interface with Writelog and Wintest, the two programs we use.
 
The other question is that we have 6 K3’s on 3 different computers. How does that work? Not sure adding more software is the answer.

Hi,
I’m the author of Win4K3.  You could use win4k3suite.  It will interface to any logging program as well as any hardware without Y cables.  Try it.  There’s  a fully functional 30 day trial.

Just put my first K3S on line, replacing a K3. For the moment, I am using
the E980297 cable to go to the P3 and then the P3 to the computer. 
I also have a Y at the computer with a cable going to the CAT input to the
Acom 2000A amplifier. Acom says they get serial data from pins 1 and 5, but
the logging program is what talks to the Acom. I have not figured out the
ramifications of this, but I am temporarily not using the K3CAT feature with
the Acom as it has not been reliable.
So, If I wanted to use the USB interface to take advantage of the sound
board options, I could use the CBLP3Y for the P3. But how can I communicate
with the Acom?
Gotta figure this out before I have three K3S talking to three Acom 2000A's
and three P3's!
