Paul,
Is the FTDI adapter identifying as a COM port when it is plugged in?
You can check using Device Manager - open Ports and unplug the adapter -
which COM port goes away? Then plug it back in and observe which COM
port is assigned.
Windows no longer adds the FTDI drivers, you must download them from the
FTDI website.
Double check your homebrew KXSER cable. Did you get the RXD and TXD
connections right?
All in all, it should work quite nicely.

Good evening,
I am trying to find a wiring layout for the kxusb cable. I have the
wiring diagram for the kxser cable (from the amp manual), and have
tried using an FTDI adaptor with this layout. Unfortunately the
software reports that the KX3 is not responding.
Have any of you gone down this route, and achieved a successful
outcome? I have ordered a new cable, but it won't be here for a few
days, and this should be a solvable problem with the spares I have in
my shack!
