As we age the brain (or at least mine) gets confused so easy......the love of my life (my K3) works flawlessly in CAT with HRD using Elecraft's serial/USB cable. CW Skimmer also works flawlessly (using 3KHZ mode) but I cannot get the CAT side of CW Skimmer to cooperate. I am using a laptop (and Vista) which does not have a serial port, thus the USB. Within CW Skimmer's settings I experimented with all of the COM port settings and on COM 3 I can get the frequency bar to "light up" but neither display the frequency nor control the rig. Am I missing something, is there a workaround.......anybody help!
Thanks, Larry VE3LR
Larry did you download and install OmniRig from the DXAtlas download site? It's necessary for Skimmer to communicate with the K3. Check your Skimmer installation documentation.

Yes I have OmniRig installed. I also just tried LP Bridge (thanks to G4IL0 Julian's suggestion) and at first had the K3 connected through COM 6 and it was working, then was going to try Skimmer on one of the virtual ports and now LP Bridge won't even connect to the K3. Certainly frustrating...think I'll set back and take a breather before I drive myself nuts......:-)
Thanks for the suggestions Bill...........Larry
