[Elecraft] K3s USB com questions

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Go to Windows "System" and then "Device Manager" and open "Ports (COM & 
LPT)".  You should find "USB Serial Port (Comm xx)" where "xx" is the 
COM port presently being used by the radio.   Double click on the port 
being used by the radio.  Make the changes to port number an speed as 
you need.  In my K3S configuration the computer sees the radio as COM 5 
and the port speed is 38400.  After doing this you may need to re-boot 
the computer for the changes to take effect.
