Cannot connect to K3S utillity

I am the proud owner of K3S SN 10823. After sleeping on it, I still cannot
get the Utility to connect.

My computer sees The radio it on COM5. I have turned off everything else
connected, the amp, tuner and P3.

I need to figure this out so I can save configs, so when I goof up I can
reload a working config.

Also the per band power limits the K3 to 12 watts and the amp to ~250 watts.

How do I get ~400watts ?

The receiver on this radio is phenomenal, audio is FANTASTIC.

Thanks, Leroy AB7CE

Is COM5 a serial port or USB? If serial, try CONFIG->RS232 and set the
speed to 38400 Baud. Be sure to set COM5 in the K3 Utility, then click
the Test Communications button.

In reply to this post by Leroy

Locate RS-232 in the CONFIG menu and set it to "USB" instead of a number. This should allow the utility to connect.

Do you have a K3S/10 or a K3S/100?

What kind of amp do you have?

Does not matter, still won't connect. Tried two Win 7 computers.

Do you have a K3S/10 or a K3S/100?
