I'm fairly new to the RR-1258 too, however I've noticed that things are
sensitive to the order in which stuff is turned on/off. The virtual
ports seem to come from the RR box. On my computer [Win 7], the Device
Mgr says the ports are there but they really aren't ... they're just
reserved for when the computer and RR are connected via the USB. If the
USB isn't connected, N1MM+ can't find the RR ports
N1MM+ seems to want the CAT port to be RR1258 COM1 which on mine ends up
being COM15.
I don't know about the batter issue, but when my K3 is in TERM mode and
I'm connected to the remote, most of the indications I see seem to be
coming from the remote, not my control K3.

K3 #250 is connected to control RRC 1258 MkII. I have only been using
this setup for 4 days. With Win8.1 I find that when I start N1MM+ and
the control box, the N1MM does not 'see' the virtual com ports even
though the device manager does. I found that pullling out the USB plug
from the front of the control RRC seems to 'reset' the com ports and
then all is well.
