Very strange problem I am having between the K3 and the computer for rig control using a usb to serial adapter (prolific chip set). Sometime it works just fine and other times it goes funky, looses rig control or cw keying or keying the tx with no power output. When I reboot it sometime works fine and not other times.
On the elecraft website the usb to serial adapter they sell is currently a FTDI chipset as they went away from the prolific chip set. Last night when I experience the problem consistently, I was however able to run the K3 Utility fine with now problems to download the latest k3 firmware. I am wondering if the solution might be to go to another usb to serial adapter with the FTDI chipset? Is these a difference between different brands or models of usb to serial adapter with FTDI chipset? I also saw online that some people had problems with the KIO3 with in the K3. Any ideas of what I am up against or how to solve the problems is greatly appreciated. Thanks & 73, Barry K6ST ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
