Determining which Windows comport WKUSB is connected to
has always been a challenge when installing one of our WinKeyer keyers. We have released an MS Windows application that will take all the guess work out of a WK install. No need to open device manager or use WKdemo to find out what port your WKUSB is on or which WK IC it uses. Simply start Com Port Scanner, click scan, and in a few seconds all active com ports (including USB com ports) will displayed. If a WinKeyer is found it will be noted along with the WK type. This works with all WK versions that have a genuine K1EL WinKeyer IC; WK1serial, WK2serial, WKlite, WKUSB, WKmini, and WKUSB-SMT.
There have been complaints that WKscan will not install or is flagged as having a virus. Virus scanners are very aggressive now in making a decision if an app is malware. Even though WKscan is virus free it is often flagged. Periodically I resubmit WKscan to Microsoft to maintain it's virus free status. I am not able to keep up with the other scanners which are very aggressive. In addition to the setup version I have also made a direct .exe version available, that can sometimes get by virus scanners so that is worth a try.
This is an experimental version of WKscan:
