[Elecraft] MICROHAM USB III INTERFACE WITH K3 UTILITY DOES NOT WORK

[Greg Best]

I hope this is not the case but if it is, this is really bad.  My PC is
actually a MacBook Pro with VMWARE Fusion on it with Win 7 as virtual OS.
One of the things with the virtual OS is that only certain ports are
available and Com1 appears to be the only port addressable. The only way I
will know that is to take my old WIN XP laptop and try it.

Not what I had in mind over the DX test weekend….

73’s
