Re: Possible K3 2.02 Firmware Bug....

[K5WA]

Mike,

 

Every computer I've owned fires pins on the serial, parallel and USB ports
as it checks itself out on start up.  This has nothing to do with the K3.
You can turn off VOX when you start the computer and you won't transmit via
your serial/LPT/USB ports.

 

73,

Has anyone else noticed that when in CW mode and in RX, if you turn on your
computer which is connected to the rig or disconnect the USB cable the rig
will start sending da's continuously? My conditions are K3 firmware 2.02
Windows XP home edition and a USB/serial converter. This strange operation
has been happening also when I wake my laptop from "sleep mode".

My computer does the same thing, it sends 3, 2 dash series when it boots up.  I have to make sure and have the VOX turned off on my IC-765 to keep it from transmitting during computer power-up.

Ditto, My Rig blaster keys/unkeys three times as the serial ports are
being tapped by windows XP. My E-MU 0202 USB soundcard lights up like a
Christmas tree for half a second as the USB ports are tested.

Solution, turn the rig on after the computer boots.
