I use the USB to serial converter from Elecraft to connect my laptop to
my K3. When I initially plugged it in it configured itself as COM 4.
Hmmm? My laptop doesn't have any real serial ports.
Later, I moved it to a different connector and lost communications. The
COM port had re-configured itself as COM 5. So I changed the settings
on my software to suit and things were good. I wondered if this
behavior was somehow related to the specific USB port. So I moved the
connector back to the initial USB port. This time the COM port iterated
up to COM 6.
I wonder if there's a way to tell this thing to be the same COM port
each time I plug it in? My computer is a fairly new Dell laptop running
Vista. As recommended, I let Vista go out and find the best driver for
it on the web.
