K3s USB com questions

[Howard Sherer]

I am just setting up my K3s and have 2 questions regarding the USB com use.

The com port that is assigned to my K3s is com 27. This com port is NOT
listed as one that is available on some of the programs that i use, where
it IS shown on some of the programs. And ideas on a workaround?

Also the comp post data rate is 9600 and is a bit slow for some
applications. any way to speed this up?

Go to Windows "System" and then "Device Manager" and open "Ports (COM &
LPT)".  You should find "USB Serial Port (Comm xx)" where "xx" is the
COM port presently being used by the radio.   Double click on the port
being used by the radio.  Make the changes to port number an speed as
you need.  In my K3S configuration the computer sees the radio as COM 5
and the port speed is 38400.  After doing this you may need to re-boot
the computer for the changes to take effect.
