[Elecraft] USB C to The K3's RS232?

[Jack Brindle]

Yes. It works quite well.

I have several USB-C to USB 3.0 adapters, including the Apple ones that I use. Plugged into one of these I have a real FTDI USB to Serial adapter which talks nicely with the Mac.
For my K3S, I simply plug the USB cable into the K3S’s USB jack and get both serial control and sound for WSJT-X.

So yes, it does work very well. Make sure you are using a serial adapter with an DTDI interface, and do not load any drivers for the port. The FTDI drivers are build into macOS.
Also, set WSJT-X to use the same data rate as the K3, which defaults to 38400 bps.

73!
