[Elecraft] K3S Set-up for WSJT-X

[Marc Veeneman]

Don, on a Mac, the port indicator is provided by the FTDI adapter.  It's not a simple 1,2, or 3.  It's a complex set of characters sent by the adapter.

This is not a Microsoft system, it's a Unix derivative which gives the user a more direct view of what's happening.

Apple's support response was correct.  But the Elecraft Utility already shows the FTDI response in a dropdown box, so there's no need to call Elecraft.
