K3 and Ham Radio Deluxe

Hello,

I have the K3 connected to N1MM and working without problem. I have WKUSB to
COM7 and RS232 to USB cable (that I bought at Elecraft when I bought the K3)
connected to COM8 at 38400 bps

Now I installed HRD, open it and selected Elecraft K3 in COM8 and 38400 and
I have this error

K3, COM8, 38400 denied access

Make sure your radio is switched on and not in memory mode

If you are using a homemade/non-standard cable you may need to select RTS
and/or DTR

Any idea what´s wrong?

73,

Jorge

Re: K3 and Ham Radio Deluxe

Thanks Jack,

I quit N1MM and HRD Works.

So I cannot use both at the same time?

I am under the opinion you may only have ONE interface open at a time
between the computer and the K3. I have done the same thing and get the
same message. I have even tried the K3 Utility and it will not function
if N1MM is connected to the K3.

Jorge,

Do you have N1MM running when you start HRD?

If so, COM8 is already in use by N1MM and HRD cannot use it because N1MM
is using the port.
Close N1MM and try HRD alone.

If you want multiple applications to use the same port that is connected
to the K3, you will have to use a software application that provides
virtual ports. LP-Bridge is a good example and supports the K3 very
well (in fact the K3 is the only radio it virtualizes). It is available
from www.telepost.com.

No. Windows does not allow two programs to use a single serial
port at the same time. That is standard for most operating
systems.

[K3] Re: K3 and Ham Radio Deluxe

In reply to this post by Jorge Diez - CX6VM-2

Jorge,

I'd like to add my own experiences into the mix. They weren't specifically with the K3, but may provide some insight.

First of all, as previously mentioned, you need a good serial port virtualization application. I used VSP Manager by K5FR. I think (but please don't quote me on this) that it was free. I know I found it easy to set up and use. You will end up setting up two (I think) virtualization pairs, one for HRD and one for N1MM.

Next, you need to install and configure HRD. I seem to remember that it wants to be the first item in the chain of software applications. It wants to be configured to use the actual physical serial port, and it will then act as the virtual conduit to the physical port for N1MM. For this, it will also use one of the virtual pairs set up while setting up the serial port virtualization software. There are also instructions in the HRD documentation for setting it up for use with both other logging applications (N1MM) and the serial port virtualization software.

Next, install and configure N1MM. Set it up as you normally would, but you will set it up using the last port in the second pair of ports you set up, above. There is also info in N1MM's documentation for using it with other applications.

Now, for everything to work together properly, your systems must be started in this order:

1. Your K3
2. HRD
3. N1MM

Because of the way Windows handles serial ports, if you don't start everything in this order, it won't work properly.

I know this is a bit long-winded, but I hope it helps.
