Their very reasonable policy is “if you can get it working by yourself, good for you. But don’t come to us looking for help.”
However, I respectfully disagree that there is no reliable solution. There have been no shortage of issues with Virtual Serial Ports on Windows with their dependence upon interrupt and event timing. I took a different route, developing a shared serial port that “outsources” serial port management to a Raspberry Pi. This avoids all of the issues in Windows, provides better performance due to caching, and presents less load on the K3 than from multiple individual devices. -larry (K8UT) -----Original Message----- From: Wes Stewart Sent: Monday, September 04, 2017 2:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] OT - WSJT-X & K3s I asked about this on the Yahoo WSJT-X group: From one of the developers, "Hi Wes, we do not support serial port splitting products with WSJT-X, they are unreliable as there is no acceptable way to divide control of a single device without arbitration. If you get it working then that's fine but don't expect it to stay working. What is your logging program and SDR console? There might be a better solution. 73 Bill G4WJS."
