K3 utility help

I installed the utility and installed what I think is the driver via CDM c2.08.30 WHQL Certified.exe
I connected the KUSB cable to the K3’s RS232 port. I started the utility and selected COM3 as it was the only choice.
The utility cannot find the K3.
What am I missing?

Assuming Windows, what does device manager say about the port? No other program is using the port, right? Have you tried a reboot of the puter? Is the DB9 firmly attached to the K3? When you plugged the USB cable into the 'puter did Windows recognize it?

That's all I got....

I think the k3 Utility will match whatever the K3 is set to. AFAIR, it cycles thru all the baud rates.

Re: K3 utility help

That's correct.

Some of our utilities operate at only speed supported. (XG3, K144XV, and
W2).

When the radio, amp, ATU or panadapter offers several choices, we find the
RS-232 speed as you have indicated.

Mike,

That may be true, but if the P3 is in place, the K3 rate must be set to
38,400 or some things will not work together. I don't know whether a P3
is involved in the original post or not.

Re: K3 utility help

True, Don and good point. But the utility still does the seek. It's not possible to match the utility and K3 manually.

that aren't as smart as elecraft's utils <g>
