I'll repeat back what I think I understand about your current setup:
You have a serial-USB adapter plugged into the female DE-9 labeled
"COM1" on the front of the RRC-1258, the other [USB-A] end is plugged
into a USB slot on your computer, and device mangler tells you it is "COM3".
If that's exactly what you meant, I have never been able to make that
work with N1MM+. I don't have DX4WIN or WriteLog. What does work fine
for me:
1. Remove the DE-9 COM1 connection from both the RRC and computer USB-A
port.
2. Plug a standard USB-A cable end into the computer and the other end
[USB-B] into the USB-B jack under the RRC power LED.
3. Go into device mgr and you will see four new ports:
RRC1258 COM0(COMw)
RRC1258 COM1(COMx)
RRC1258 COM2(COMy)
RRC1258 COMExtra(COMz)
5. Note the "x" for RRC1258 COM1. Use that COM port# in your logger
for the CAT control.
5. It is possible that Windoze may have assigned a COMx that is already
in use. Do not try to change the RRC1258 assignment! Go into the other
[duplicate] port and change it to something unused. Whatever is using
that port will likely have to be adjusted as well.
#5 above is brought to you by Windoze 7, 8, and 10. You can thank
Microsoft for that feature.

Got the RemoteRig setup working great except for one small wrinkle -
logging. I have a serial to USB cable connected from COM1 on the 1258 and
settings at both control and remote set to Mode 7 - CAT to COM2. The
computer recognizes the connection as COM3, but when I try to direct a
logging program (tried DX4WIN and WriteLog so far) to COM3 it doesn't find
the radio.
The RemoteRig manual indicates that this setup will work with K3 twins, but
I'm not sure that is the case with a K3/0. Anyone have this working or
ideas on how to proceed?
