OT KX2/KX3 Logging Program Q

[Jim GM]

HI Elecrafters

I have a confession, I have been Running RumLog with my KX3 for several years with my Mac Mini Apple computer and love it.  I just got a Microsoft Surface 3. I want to run a logging program that interfaces with the KX2 and KX3 using one USB com port.

N1MM is a nice program but I need a second com port and an interface to send CW. RumLog on the Mac only needs one.

So here is the Question.
Since the Micorsoft Surface Tablet has only one comport what Logging progam would fit my requirements?

Sure I could get an adaptor port so I can have more ports  and add an interface but that is not an option for my needs.

N1MM is a contest logger, so I assume you need to send CW in contests,
not general QSOs.

I use a WinKeyer USB keyer to send CW with a paddle and with N2MM+.

N1MM+ controls the WinKeyer perfectly though a USB port, and has a
separate configuration tab devoted to it.

With my KX3/KXP3/KXPA100, I used one USB port for everything except
sending CW, which used a second USB port. I did not use an RS-232 serial
port for anything.

The same arrangement works with my new K3s and the same WinKeyer.

I'm not familiar with the Surface. If it has only one USB port, you can
use a powered USB hub to get more connections.

hope this helps.
