N1MM+ and K3 with KIO3B

VE3CFK
Prior to installing KIO3B, all my PCs and laptops interfaced properly with N1MM+ using FDTI serial to USB interface cables. After installing KIO3B, I cannot get any PC or laptop to send CW and display the operating frequency - except my buddies Desktop running Windows 10 using the USB cable between the K3 and PC. My Desktop is: -Intel duo core 3.4Ghz -8.00 GB RAM -Windows 7 Home Premium, Service pack 1 Laptop: -Intel duo core 2.0GHz -1.0 GB RAM -Windows XP Service Pack 3 Using V1.0.6006.0 N1MM on both laptop and desktop. K3 firmware: MCU 05.50 FPF 01.25 DSP1 02.87 DSP2 02.87 Using the USB cable supplied by Elecraft between my PCs and the K3, I can send CW via the keyboard function keys, but the operating frequency will NOT display. It puts me in manual mode. If I configure the laptop and the K3 with a FDTI serial/usb cable, N1MM will display the K3 frequency, N1MM will key the K3 but will NOT send CW. I have tried all PTT settings on the K3 without success. As an aside. If I interface my K3 to Desktop PC running TRX Manager, I have full functionality of K3 thru the TRX Manager. Note: TRX Manager does not send CW to the K3. So only telemetry is transferred between the two. 73 Chet VE3CFK
