I have switched over to Linux for my shack computer but have observed an issue affecting some programs that use the serial port including the Elecraft K3 Update Utility. These programs populate a list of COM ports available to use and only allow you to use one of them. Under wine this list is empty, therefore you cannot use the software.
In my own program I was able to overcome the problem by changing the software to allow me to force the serial port by typing it in, even though it was not listed in the drop-down. The K3 Update Utility allows me to type in COM1 but then displays an error when I try to use it. Is it possible it could be made a bit less strict in this area to allow its use under Linux / wine? ----- Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-Firmware-Updater-under-Linux---Wine-tp15117763p15117763.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
