[Elecraft] How to get K3/0 data into a logging program

[Fred Jensen]

Don't know about an iMac, I have studiously avoided anything whose name 
begins with a lower case "i", but ...

I run W7RN remotely with my K3 and the RRC 1258Mk2 and use N1MM in 
contests on a PC.  Here's my recipe:

1.  Serial cable from control K3 to back of RRC box.  This establishes 
remote control.

2.  USB from RRC front panel connector to PC.  When connected, the RRC 
box creates 4 virtual COM ports -- COM0, COM1, COM2, and COMExtra.  In 
device mgr, they will have a "real" COM port assigned in parentheses.

3.  Locate the virtual port COM1, and note the "real" port in parens. 
That's the port # that goes into N1MM.

The frequency data comes from the remote K3, not my local control K3.

So, if you can translate that into Apple-ese, it should work for you.
