I'm using a Gearmo 4-port USB to Serial adapter (http://www.amazon.com/GearMo%C2%AE-36inch-Windows-Certified-Drivers/dp/B004ETDC8K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420241893&sr=8-1&keywords=gearmo+4-port+usb+to+serial+adapter)
And I've also acquired an 8-port Edgeport from an eBay vendor. I use a number of KXSER cables for the DE-9 to 3.5 mm transition. I do test software with a KXUSB, but its FTDI chip set seems equivalent to the Gearmo 4-port adapter. One serial port is used for KX3 + PX3 + KXPA100 , they daisy-chain. One serial port is used for a K3 - P3 daisy chain. One is used for KAT500 One is used for KPA500 One is used for a W2 or LP-100A (telepost) or XG3. I don't tend to use all of these at once. I used to use some ABCD DE-9 switches, but prefer to have them all connected and it's easier to pick the combinations I need at once. There is also the USB hub solution, one hub on your PC might fan out to 4 or 8 USB ports.

I have plentiful Mac USB physical ports (about 8). So the issue is with the KX3. Got no place to plug it in. :—( > On Jan 2, 2015, at 3:25 PM, Richard Gillingham <[email protected]> wrote: > > Sounds like you need a virtual serial port emulator program. > 73 > Gil, W1RG > > Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Note® 3, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone > > > -------- Original message -------- > From: David Ahrendts <[email protected]> > Date:01/02/2015 6:14 PM (GMT-05:00) > To: Elecraft List <[email protected]> > Cc: > Subject: [Elecraft] KX3+KXPA100+PX3 = Outta Inputs/Outputs > > Got the KX3 Line.
