[Elecraft] Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

[Tom]

Hi Barry,
No, com0com is a software null modem cable used to connect two pieces of software via a virtual port pair. It has no logic for operating a k3. The reason it works for you is that you are using Win4k3Suite, which has a built in router that performs k3 command routing. win4k3 has functionality that replaces lpbridge, and it uses com0com only as a connector.
