Have you installed microHAM USB Device Router in the Windows Virtual
Machine? Router installs both the FTDI (hardware) driver and the
Eltima VSPAX (software) driver.
The hardware driver is responsible for communications between the
Router software and the interface. The VSPAX is responsible for
creating the virtual COM port (as well as mapping rig control/CAT
to one virtual port, and PTT, CW/FSK to a different virtual port
if needed).

I hope this is not the case but if it is, this is really bad. My PC is
actually a MacBook Pro with VMWARE Fusion on it with Win 7 as virtual OS.
One of the things with the virtual OS is that only certain ports are
available and Com1 appears to be the only port addressable. The only way I
will know that is to take my old WIN XP laptop and try it.
Not what I had in mind over the DX test weekend….

I am still trying to get a K3 talking. I have a connection through a
Microham USB III Interface box that connects the K3 RS232 port to my PC
running Win 7 64 Pro. The path is from the K3 to the Microham III USB
interface, then there is a straight USB connection from the Microham to
the
PC. I have downloaded the K3 Utility and tried to see if it will
establish
connection with the PC but it will not. COM port 1 is used. The K3
setting
is currently at 38400 baud but I also tried setting the K3 baud rate at
4800 and doing a power on/off but with the same results. I see the K3
utility screen on the PC step through the various baud rates but it
will not
sync up to the K3. The PC recognizes the Microham USB interface when
looking
at the Win 7 Device Manager but it indicates there is no device driver.
I
don¹t always trust what the PC says though. Can someone point me to a
device driver I can download and install. My K3 FW is Rev 5.38.
