K3 - USB

N2TK
Hooked up my backup K3 so I could add a mod on the other K3. I can't connect
to USB anymore with the backup K3.

Verified that USB is selected in Config > RS232 > USB.

Swapped the KIO3B Digital I/O board between the two rigs. I can't transfer
the problem.

The only thing plugged into both rigs is the Powerpole and USB cable.

I am using the same USB cable to go between both rigs.  

In Win 10 >Device Manager > Universal serial bus controller, I see added
"Generic USB Hub" when I plug in the USB cable.

 

What could I be missing or check?

Tnx for any feedback

N2TK, Tony

Tried swapping the KIO3B Main Board. Something on the board broke. Guess I
need to order another board.

Hmmm. On the one rig USB and RS232 works fine. On the other rig RS232 works
but not USB.

Tony,

The computer must also enumerate a COM port that is associated with the
adapter in the K3(S).

If it goes not, go to the FTDI website and download the drivers.

Re: K3 - USB

Watch Control Panel --> Device Mangler --> Ports while you plug in the
USB cable to the PC.  You should see a new COM port come up.  That's the
port you use to talk to the radio.  It's faintly possible you are
missing or have an old driver, but Windows almost always installs the
correct driver transparently when you plug in the cable.  Unplugging the
cable will cause that port to disappear.

Re: K3 - USB

N2TK
Hi Fred,
That is exactly what happens when I plug in or remove the USB cable. Narrowed down the problem to the KIO3B Main Board. Ordered a replacement board.
