K3/0 mini usb port

[Jeff Griffin]

For some reason while running remote I can't access my K3/0 mini via the USB
port with DXLab Commander anymore. All else is working remotely, only
problem is I can't control anything with my laptop, this all used to work. I
haven't used my remote system in awhile, but last time it worked fine. I'm
thinking maybe the FTDI driver got updated via win10. I'm at FTDI 2.12.18.0,
I think this is the right level. There are no errors reported in any of the
comport properties menu's. When I plug the USB cable in, com ports 5 and 6
appear in the device manager list. All looks normal. My DXLab commander
setup is. K3, com 5(I also tried 6),38400{same as K3/0),8,N,2,Y,Y.
interrogate  and enable are checked.

Anyone have any ideas, and can someone verify what level FTDI driver there
using that works. Thanks.

Jeff,

How many DE-9 connectors are there on your USB to serial adapter?
If only one (which is normal), then only one COM port should be defined.
That fact that you find 2 COM ports in device manager is cause for
question unless you have an adapter with 2 physical serial ports.

Pretty sure that would be zero, since it's inside the K3/0-mini.

It's normal for the K3/0-mini to present two virtual COM ports.

Jeff, can the K3 Utility talk to your K3/0-mini (when no other
software is attempting to do so)? That will tell you if the problem is
with the COM port plumbing or the DXLab Suite config.
