Well I have it working. I do not use a Microham. I use the USB cable that came with my K3S. Setup software with com port data and make sure radio RE-232 is set to USB, and it works. Not sure what all the Microham does for you.
Oh by the way, wsjt-x will set the mode and frequency on the radio. No need for macros to set this up.
