K3 Utility Save Configeration freezes

I am using version 1.15.8.18 with windows 7. The save configuration bar goes to about 80 percent and then the program freezes and I have to go to task manager to close the utility.
Configure crystal filters works, Edit CW memories works, Power on banner and time and date work.
I just can't save the Configuration.

The Save Configuration is a 3k file and saves about 80% in a couple of seconds and the last 20% in about 10 minutes. I just have to wait longer than I expected.

G'day,

FWIW config save on my Win7/64 box with 38400 bit/sec between it and the
K3 takes about 4 seconds beginning to end.

Regards,

You might want to look at your computer.
It sounds to me like K3Utility has no problem gathering the
configuration information, but your computer is having trouble saving
the data to the file.

Re: K3 Utility Save Configeration freezes

I am out of town untill Friday. I ordered a 10 foot serial cable and will see how it works. If you works in a few seconds then I will see if I can get the serial to Iusb work.

I found that my computer has a serial connector so I ordered a serial cable.
The serial cable saves the configuration in a few seconds. I will use the serial cable and not use the serial to USB since it does not work. I really like this K3 Utility and find it very useful.
Thanks.
