HP Pavilion and PSK -- no workie workie

Sam Joseph
Hello,

I am new to the list - I just ordered my K2 yesterday.  I should have it by
the end of the week.  I have built Heathkits in the long ago past, but this
will be my first Elecraft kit.  I am still using my HW8 and Heath Electronic
Keyer.  I plan on retiring them.  More on my K2 later - after I get the kit.

Jerry,
I would set up for com port 6.  I know that 1, 2, 3, and 4 are in use.  I
have a Pavilion ZV6000 and also use a serial to USB adapter not for PSK but
that shouldn't matter.


Help?? I ran PSK all the time with my old puter, then the laptop came along
while I was in the hospital and my wife took my old puter away. Why, as a
way to make me keep my feet propped up when on the radio, it works for me,
new puter. hi hi

Ok here are the facts:

Puter: HP Pavilion  -- no serial ports all usb ports. using eithe XP or NP I
don't know what ever it came with, I'm no puter guru, shows huh?

Software is Digipan 2.0

Interface: Old soapdish Rascal with serial port, its has worked for years. I
have a serial port to usb port converter cable deal to get to usb ports on
puter.

Rig: my trusty wonderful Elecraft K2, which I've worked digital modes with
for years.

Facts: I can recieve PSK, however can only seem to control waterfall with
volume control on K2. Its very touchy.

I can't hear the PSK signals guess it has something to do with HP Pavilon, I
sure miss not hearing it. Want to tackle one thing at a time.

Can not transmit, when i try to configure the serial port, I set if for com
port 2 just like I use to do. RTS and RTR are checked just like before but I
get a message, "Error opening Com Port 2, try again".

Any ideas to help me out, like I have said before I'm very puter stupid.

Thanks, now I wonder what I should have added??
