K3 / HRD

[Evert Bakker (PA2KW)]

I’m just in the process of selecting a log program.

For that reason I was testing HRD to communicate with my K3.

I got it working (at the highest speed) through the (K)USB device (from Prolific). But it’s awful slow.

When changing the VFO-freq, it might take more then a minute for HRD to synchronize.

Any ideas?

 

I want to use a Micro Keyer 2 (Microham) in the near future, have a logbook program with integrated DXcluster and Digimode modules.

Any suggestion?

 

As it is not only a strict K3 question, please mail me directly if you can help me.

Hi,

 

Sounds like a bad USB <=> serial driver? What's the operating system, serial COM device etc.?

 

HRD & K3 should be *very* fast.

Evert,

That is strange. Unless the computer is loaded down with other chores,
HRD normally updates very quickly. You may want to check for 'gremlins'
in your computer, or other things that are keeping the CPU busy.

Make sure you have the latest HRD for the latest K3 firmware.
