You will need to get another COM port. If you have a desktop computer, that is easy because you can buy a card to go into an expansion slot. Then you would have COM1 - COM2 - COM3 etc. Now you can also go with a USB to Serial adapter (Elecraft sells one) and then you can add addition COM ports with that do-dad. But, they do work rather nicely in a lot of applications. I blew up mine because of of some RF in the shack. Stopped working. I went with the COM port card. You can get a card with two or four COM ports for around 10 to 30 dollars.

I have my computer connected to my K3 with a serial cable. I normally use the connection for DX4WIN but sometimes want to use Digipan for PSK. Of course if I try to use Digipan while DX4WIN is running, I get a message about the port (serial cable) already being in use (by DX4WIN). How can I connect the computer and K3 so that I can have both DX4WIN and DIgipan (and perhaps other programs in the future) active at the same time. I feel like I ought to know the answer, but somehow it is escaping me. Thanks for your help.
