How to allow K3S to feed multiple logging programs on my laptop?

I have K3S Serial Number 11459 and a P3 and would like to communicate with
N3FJP ACLog and SKCCLogger at the same time or one of the logging programs
and the K3 Utility. Technology has raced past me! Is the bottle neck with
only one com port available from the K3S?
Thanks, Tom NB5Q

Check out Win4K3. It does that and much more. Well worth the asking price
in my opinion.
You can download it as a trial. If you like it, you just buy a license and
apply it - no need to reinstall it.
No connection with the author- just a happy customer.

Tom,
I use Win4K3Suite which can reproduce K3 serial data and send it to other
applications that would ordinarily expect to connect directly to the K3.
Win4K3Suite works in conjunction with the free utility, com0com, a virtual
comport utility to “connect” com ports to each other. The documentation of
Win4K3Suite explains how to do this. I don’t use either ACLog or SKCCLogger
but if all they need is a connection to a K3, I think it has a decent
chance of working for you. I use it with CWSkimmer, LOGic 9, and a home
brew application.

See Win4K3Suite -
https://va2fsq.com/wp-content/uploads/Win4K3Suite-Documentation-v1.45.pdf

com0com - http://com0com.sourceforge.net/

It might take a couple of tries to make it work but it does a good job For
me.

73, Ted, W2ZK

I use Win4K3suite and com0com and run 6 programs simultaneously into my K3S.
No problem, I'm running Dxbase, LOG4OM, DX4WIN, and AClog at the same time
just trying out to see which one I want to stick with. I've been using
Dxbase since 1988 and it's my favorite but no updates since a long time.

Try LP-Bridge. It's a solid program, and although it's been several years
since it's been updated, it still works well. I use it with my K3S on a
Win10 64-bit machine. Best part is it's been and remains free.

Lou, W0FK

Re: How to allow K3S to feed multiple logging programs on my laptop?

Hello to ALL
Win4K3Suite is good program but require additional com0com program
LP-Bridge makes virtual ports and you can connect all your programs to
these ports.
Win4K3Suite has full rig control, LP-Bridge not.

By the way, LP-Bridge2 works with other transceivers.

Best Wishes.
