Bill, Multiple applications using the same real serial port is one situation, but your additional comment about the W2 is (I believe) a different situation. The W2 needs its own serial port and the K3 needs another. Perhaps something like the SteppIR controller with its Y cable may be possible with the W2, but I have my doubts, the SteppIR just listens for the band frequency information, but the W2 must send data to the computer.
There are software applications out there (like LP-Bridge) that make a single serial port into several virtual ports each with its own com address. 73, Don W3FPR NZ0T wrote: > I'm a computer idiot so I hope this is not too dumb of a question.
