Don is correct - the free Windows program LP Bridge (or LPB2) is what you want to try. I ran ONE serial-to-USB cable out of my KX3 into LPB2. I then assigned one virtual serial port to NaP3 and another to LOG4OM, a Windows based free logging program. Each application thought it had its own serial connection to the KX3. Worked very well.
