GOOD suggestion! While I don't swap cables, I just flip one switch on the serial selector switch, but this is a good thing to know... Does this mean that I can use K3-EX CONCURRENTLY with N1MM via Router on a separate com port, Joe?
That would be really great! A GUI for the radio! I will give this a try! But it STILL means I must retain my other com port for software updates, as it is still not recommended to do this through router, correct? -lu-W4LT K3 #3192 > -----Original Message----- > From: Joe Subich, W4TV [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Saturday, December 18, 2010 2:17 PM > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Use of DB9 Switch with K3? > > > > When I need to load software or do any adjustments with > K3-EZ or the > > Utilities, I switch to the "real" comp port.
