K2 communication problem

[Mark - W5EZY]

Up until recently I have been able to use my pc with
my K2 S/N 4719.  Now, I get communication errors when
I try to use AC Log or Ham Radio Deluxe.  I am using
the KIO2 in the K2 and have the KPA100/KAT100 in an
EC2 case, and all of this has been working great until
about a week ago.  I even tried removing the KIO2 and
installing the KPA100 in the K2 case, using the comm
port on the amp, and still can't connect to the pc.  I
tried using another computer, but still no
comunications.

Is there a setting in my menus that I'm overlooking
that could have been inadvertently changed, preventing
pc communications?  Or do I need to do a reset on the
K2 to correct this problem?  I'm out of ideas.  HELP!!

Mark,

In the K2 menu PORT ON is about the only thing that you can do.  Try
Hyperterm as indicated in the KIO2 manual and see what happens - that can
tell a lot about what is going on.

Obvious questions: do you have the computer port parameters set correctly?,
are you using the correct port?  There is not really much that can be
wrong - suspect the hardware last (especially since yo have the same results
with the KIO2 and with the KPA100 interface.

A Master Reset of the K2 is a brutal thing to do - lots of info such as the
CAL PLL and CAL FIL information is lost, so use that only as a last resort.
