Prior to purchasing a K3/0 with the remote rig boxes, I had been using HRD. My accessory equipment (Alpha 87A, 2 rotor controllers, power meter, etc.) were handled by using the HRD Serial Port Client in conjunction with the 3rd party N8VB vCOM Virtual Serial Port Driver software. Unfortunately, the N8VB software is not compatible with Windows 8. I talked to Brandon at Elecraft (I can't say enough about Brandon and Elecraft support - it's just fantastic!) and he suggested that I take a look at the Eltima's Serial to Ethernet Connector software. This software seems to work fine and the setup isn't too difficult. For about $100.00 you get a license for 2 computers. When I'm running remote for an extended period of time, I have a desktop and a laptop with me. Eltima lets you uninstall and reinstall/register without limit but after 2 "cycles" you must contact customer support to switch machines. Can anyone suggest a Windows 8, 64 bit, compatible software similar to Eltima's Serial to Ethernet Connector without this limitation (maybe even freeware)?
