K3 and HRD - can't connect
Locked
 
|
I am attempting to connect to my
K3 with HRD. I am using the Elecraft USB to serial port to connect them. The USB
to serial port connector is on COM 9, has the latest drivers and has been
successfully used to install K3 firmware v 4.26. HRD will not let me choose COM
9. COM 3, which HRD wants is said to be in use when I look at the possibility of
changing to COM3. The K3, the port and HRD are all set for 38400 baud. Using
auto-select for the COM port selection, HRD finds port 3 and fails to connect
giving the error messages frrquency =0 and K3 COM3 38400 Failed to read
frequency.
Ideas please?
Larry

If the USB to Serial Adapter is COM9 and HRD is opening COM3,
then HRD isn’t going to find your K3. Maybe you can change the USB to Serial Adapter to use a COM port
number that’s within the range of COM ports that HRD supports. The Windows
Device Manager will let you choose the COM port you want, as long as it isn’t
already in use. I set my computer to use COM255 for testing the KUSB with the
K3 Utility to verify that it works for a wide range of COM port numbers. Dick, K6KR From:

I had LP-Bridge configured with a virtual serial port of COM11 earlier today, and HRD found and opened that OK. ~Iain Dick Dievendorff wrote: > If the USB to Serial Adapter is COM9 and HRD is opening COM3, then HRD > isn’t going to find your K3. > > > > Maybe you can change the USB to Serial Adapter to use a COM port number > that’s within the range of COM ports that HRD supports.
