Macs do not use COM numbers. Go to About this Mac/System Report/USB.
I don't have a K3S (unfortunately), but with my IC-7100 under one of the
Hub entries it shows CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller. If the K3S
uses a different chip, the wording will be different. If you disconnect
the USB line from the radio to the Mac, this entry will go away, as Don
said.

Hi Don,
The equivalent - System Information - doesn’t give the Com Number. 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.
Thanks,
John

John,
I don't know the Mac, but it should be similar to Windows.
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.

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?
Thanks,
John
