On a Mac, the serial ports are listed under /dev (devices). I assume you downloaded and installed the drivers for your KUSB from here http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm And then connected up the cable.
Do you know how to open a terminal on OS X ? If so, when the KUSB cable is connected, you can check with a command that lists the devices in /dev See this page for a general understanding and example https://software.intel.com/en-us/setting-up-serial-terminal-on-system-with-mac-os-x -Kevin (KK4YEL) No trees were killed in the sending of this message.

In fact, Apple tech support said I need to get it from Elecraft. If there is anyone who has set their Mac up to work with the K3S, I would appreciate your input.

Go to the Mac equivalent of Device Manager, and unplug the USB cable - see which "COM Port" goes away. Then plug the USB cable back in and observe which COM port is added. Tell WSJT-X which COM port it should use. No additional driver should be required unless the COM port shows an error. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/5/2017 7:48 PM, stengrevics wrote: Two very basic questions as I am just getting started: 1. How do I determine the COM number or Serial Port Number to enter in the Radio Tab? (I am using a Mac) 2. I only want to use the computer to operate WSJT-X, no need to control anything else. Do I need to download a driver of some kind?
