 Does the USB port show up when you go to 'About This Mac' and then to 'System Report' and then to 'Hardware:USB' ?
Assuming you are using a quality USB cable (from either Elecraft or Sabrent) that uses the FTDI chip set, and not someother cable that uses a Prolific chip set. (I have several USB devices on my Mac, and I keep careful track of which iswhich by tracking their serial numbers as denoted by the /dev filenames in addition to what 'About This Mac' displays,as I've run into problems in the past, particularly when using Windows under Parallels, given how picky Windows isabout device ports and ordering).
Does the port show up under another program, such as WSJT-X or JTDX? Were either of those programs (or othersthat may be trying to use the particular USB port) still running when you invoked the K3 Utility? I don't control my K3using RUMlog (which I do use for logging), but it does have some rig control capabilities, for example. I'm not familiarwith the other Mac logging programs out there, so I can't comment on what effect they might have in your situation.

 Today was the first time I tried using the K3 Utility since upgrading my
MacBook Pro to macOS Monterey v12.1 . The Utility doesn't see the USB
ports, only the Bluetooth port. Anyone else having this problem? Time for a
K3 Utility update? The last update was in September 2019.
