Don, on a Mac, the port indicator is provided by the FTDI adapter. It's not a simple 1,2, or 3. It's a complex set of characters sent by the adapter.
This is not a Microsoft system, it's a Unix derivative which gives the user a more direct view of what's happening. Apple's support response was correct. But the Elecraft Utility already shows the FTDI response in a dropdown box, so there's no need to call Elecraft. -- Marc W8SDG > On Jan 6, 2017, at 9:23 AM, Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> wrote: > > I find it alarming that Apple support told you that you would have to get the > COM port number from Elecraft. > The FTDI adapter in the K3S is just like any other FTDI adapter.
