[Elecraft] How to allow K3S to feed multiple logging programs on my laptop?

[Ted Roycraft]

Tom,
I use Win4K3Suite which can reproduce K3 serial data and send it to other
applications that would ordinarily expect to connect directly to the K3.
Win4K3Suite works in conjunction with the free utility, com0com, a virtual
comport utility to “connect” com ports to each other.  The documentation of
Win4K3Suite explains how to do this. I don’t use either ACLog or SKCCLogger
but if all they need is a connection to a K3, I think it has a decent
chance of working for you. I use it with CWSkimmer, LOGic 9, and a home
brew application.

See Win4K3Suite -

com0com -  http://com0com.sourceforge.net/

It might take a couple of tries to make it work but it does a good job For
me.

73, Ted, W2ZK
