Tom,

You must define to Hamlib which COM port has been assigned to that USB to serial adapter. Just saying USB is insufficient - Hamlib only knows COM Port numbers.

If you did not see which COM port was assigned by your computer when you plugged in the USB to serial adapter, open Device manager and expand the PORTS entry. If the assigned COM port is not obvious, unplug it and see which COM port goes away. Then plug it back in and see whhich COM port is added.
Put that COM port number into Hamlib.

Hi Kevin,

   Sorry about that, Windows 8.1. USB is selected for serial port.

Have you tried using FLrig? I use FLrig with my KX2 and KX3, then FLdigi talks to FLrig. Also, make sure your comm port is the right one. I assume you’re on windows, but you didn’t mention. So, which OS are you on?

  Hi folks,

Trying to get WSJT-X going with FT8 and my new KX2. I keep getting a "/Hamlib error/: IO /error/ while opening connection to rig" error. I have the right cables and jumper module in the signalink, Radio selection is KX3 (it's supposed to work), USB and VOX is selected and VOX is ON. 8 bits, one stop and handshake NONE. No matter what I do I still get the error.

Any ideas please? It's driving me nuts! This shouldn't be this difficult. Any help appreciated.
