K3 ver 03.79 and Palstar AT-AUTO

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Bill:

I think that problem occurs if you turn off the K3 before quitting the
Utility program. It's the quitting of the Utility program that initializes
the sequence to return the baud rate that you previously had the K3 set to.
It can't do it if the K3 is off.

The K3 Utility changes speed before firmware load and restores speed  
right after firmware load. If you check the Verbose Logging View menu  
option and observe the Activity Log part of the firmware tab and  
perform a firmware load it should be clear when speed changes. In a  
subsequent version of K3 Utility now in Field Test I have added rig S/
N and RS 232 speed to the main window title bar to make the speed more  
obvious.

Hi Dick:

Thanks for the correction. I once experienced the problem that Bill described and I thought I had it figured out by my quitting the Utility program early. Obviously from your explanation this would not have caused Bill's problem.
