KIO2 problem

[wb2ssb]

In final stages of building KIO2 interface .... Am doing Serial
Interface Test .... Using HyperTeminal, I am indeed able to issue the
suggested command, SH01; which causes a band increment.  However,
communication in the opposite direction is nonexistent; that is,
following the procedure on page 14 to issue the Test Message from the K2
causes no response on Hyperterminal.

 

Any suggestions are, of course, deeply appreciated and welcome.

If you're connecting to your computer via a serial-to-USB adapter, I've
found from comments I've read around the Web that there is a wide range of
performance of these devices, from inoperative to just fine.

I went to BestBuy and bought whatever the only brand was they had on the
shelf and it was kinda like what you're seeing -- responses from the radio
were garbled, truncated, or non-existent. I took that one back and stole one
from another piece of equipment I had that wasn't using it and now it works
fine. There's no brand name on it, but the part number is GUC232A.

This may or may not be your problem but I just wanted to toss it out just in
case.

Thanks, Craig .. the device you are referring to is made by Iogear:
GUC232A - USB to PDA/Serial Adapter ... found it on Google.

 

However, I am going straight in to a serial port on a Dell Latitude D400
notebook ... so I think the problem lies elsewhere.

 

Thaanks again.
