[Elecraft] K3s/P3 with SDR Play, Win4K3 & Skimmer

[Gary Smith]

I can only speak to Win4K3Suite. 

There are two components to be installed 
by the user, the program and com0com, the 
latter is used to assign ports so 
Win4K3Suite can utilize the multi virtual 
port feature.

It is simple to do both but you must 
follow the directions which are laid out 
well.

There are many features of it that I don't 
use but to everything I use it for with 
the K3s & K3, it is perfect.

73,
