[Elecraft] Logging with K3/0 remotely

[Fred Jensen]

I'll repeat back what I think I understand about your current setup:

You have a serial-USB adapter plugged into the female DE-9 labeled 
"COM1" on the front of the RRC-1258, the other [USB-A] end is plugged 
into a USB slot on your computer, and device mangler tells you it is "COM3".

If that's exactly what you meant, I have never been able to make that 
work with N1MM+.  I don't have DX4WIN or WriteLog.  What does work fine 
for me:

1.  Remove the DE-9 COM1 connection from both the RRC and computer USB-A 
port.

2.  Plug a standard USB-A cable end into the computer and the other end 
[USB-B] into the USB-B jack under the RRC power LED.

3.  Go into device mgr and you will see four new ports:
	RRC1258 COM0(COMw)
	RRC1258 COM1(COMx)
	RRC1258 COM2(COMy)
	RRC1258 COMExtra(COMz)

5.  Note the "x" for RRC1258 COM1.  Use that COM port# in your logger 
for the CAT control.

5.  It is possible that Windoze may have assigned a COMx that is already 
in use.  Do not try to change the RRC1258 assignment!  Go into the other 
[duplicate] port and change it to something unused.  Whatever is using 
that port will likely have to be adjusted as well.

#5 above is brought to you by Windoze 7, 8, and 10.  You can thank 
Microsoft for that feature.
