Jim,
I am not sure of this but from what I understand there are no Window 7
drivers for the Griffin PowerMate. There are XP drivers but not Windows 7,
etc.
I believe also that Griffin has stopped making them and will not provided
new drivers and it will not work without the drivers.
I do not know this first hand but when I checked into buying one this is
what I found out.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Remote VFO tuning control
Before he was forced to quit writing K3 software due to health and other
concerns, Julian, G4ILO wrote a small program called K-Tune (still available
on his website) that used the Griffin PowerMate for tuning and some other
control functions on the K3.
If you use a logging program that uses the RS-232 port to read data from the
K3, you'll need to install and configure LP-Bridge to allow multiple
programs to access the K3 through the one serial port.
I have not used it yet, but I did order the Powermate this morning - check
around, Griffin wants $45 on their website, but you can get it cheaper
elsewhere (I got mine from B&H Photo for under $30).
I've heard that K-Tune works well with the Powermate, but as I said, no
experience as of right now - I have used other programs by Julian though,
and they have all worked very well so I plan on giving this one a try as
well.

I may have missed something, but would these do the job via USB?
