KX3 Utility & Windows 8.1

[Jack Chomley]

Hi Everyone,
I never seem to have much to contribute to this list, but this may help someone....
Managed to get my new Dell Venue 8 tablet with WIN8.1 going with the KX3 utility. Whilst the screen on the unit is only 8" it's a workable setup and being able to manage my KX3 without lugging a laptop around, is a big bonus.
First thing I did was use it to save my configuration :-) Now, I have no fear of ever having to do an EEINIT in the field! Plus I have all the other benefits of the KX3 utility.
I just used the standard KX3USB cable with a USB OTG adapter cable that I ratted out of an older Android Tablet kit I had. Took a few port tests to register COM3 in the utility (COM1 no go) and it's all up and running.
Great, I have actually achieved something for the day!

Thanks Mark, well the success got better as I was able to get my SCS Pactor modems, DSP Tracker, SignaLink Interface etc and all the software going too, so my KX3 is truly a multi mode radio now, that is very portable.
