[Elecraft] K3 - KIO3B setup

[Don Wilhelm]

Tony,

The USB "adapter" in the K3 must be defined as a USB COM port by your 
computer.  It should be no different than adding a USB to serial adapter 
(because that is what is inside the KIO3B).  I suspect that "USB 
Composite Device" is what you might be looking for - is there a COM Port 
number associated with it?

That kind of stuff is computer dependent.  If you did not obtain 
anything reasonable, unplug the USB cable from the computer and try 
another USB port.  Wait until the computer indicates that the device is 
ready to use.  I know that works on Windows 7 and Windows 10 (should 
work in Win8).
If you are using XP, that may get a bit 'dicey' and you may have to 
explicitly load the FTDI driver.

Once you know the COM port that the computer has assigned, just tell 
LP-Bridge to use that COM port.

73,
