Earl,

If you have only one software application (a logger for instance), then you can connect it to the COM port formed by the K3S USB connection. Your SignaLink does not use a COM port, it is basically a USB soundcard. If you have run out of USB ports, you can use a USB hub (best if it is a powered hub).

If OTOH, you have multiple software applications that want to connect to the K3S ... Use a software application that provides virtual ports. LP-Bridge from www.telepostinc.com is one that works well - except it does not yet support Unicode and will not work with Ham Radio Deluxe ver 6 (it does work with HRD 5). That will allow you to connect with your logger and other software applications. LP-Bridge connects to the K3 and the other applications connect to the virtual ports of LP-Bridge.

Lots of support for LPB available on the LP-Pan Yahoo Group.
Note that there is an LPB2, and that is *not* an update to LP-Bridge. LP-Bridge is K3 specific, LPB2 is for support of other transceivers.

Hi,  I have now finished the kits and have the K3s, KPA 500, P3 and KAT 500
antenna tuner. Have all up and running and working fine.

After getting all this hooked up I find myself without a port for computer
control of the K3s with my logging and cluster control.

I don't use HRD. What is the simplest route to get my USB Signal link and
logging programs linked to the radio with my computer?
