Have you installed microHAM USB Device Router in the Windows Virtual Machine? Router installs both the FTDI (hardware) driver and the Eltima VSPAX (software) driver. The hardware driver is responsible for communications between the Router software and the interface. The VSPAX is responsible

Hi, I may be mistaken with the following. Joe can answer this best. Using the K3 utility with the MicroHam, is not something you generally want to do. Many of the commands are not part of the Elecraft serial port API. I know that in the past when Win4K3Suite was being developed, the MicroHam

Greg, Do you have a USB to serial cable other than the MicroHam? If so, try connecting using K3 Utility with it. If it works, then you will know the K3 is OK, and the computer (at least for K3 Utility) is OK too. If that is the case, then you will only need to look at the MicroHam, the

My connection K3 -> P3 -> USB III -> PC works fine with Microham driver installed. With the Microham driver GUI, you need to configure virtual COM port to communication PC software such as K3 Utility and others to K3. 73 de JH3SIF, Keith > 2018/02/17 4:23、Greg Best

I hope this is not the case but if it is, this is really bad. My PC is actually a MacBook Pro with VMWARE Fusion on it with Win 7 as virtual OS. One of the things with the virtual OS is that only certain ports are available and Com1 appears to be the only port addressable. The only way I will
