S Meter Lite Problem

Elecraft mailing list
I have been trying to run Greg Ordy's S Meter Lite 2.23 on my K3 and can't get it to run. 

When I hit the "run" button the transmitter is keyed for a few seconds and then I get a message "Radio not connected or turned on. Perhaps some portion of the configuration is incorrect. Error-Read  File count check failed."
I have tried different baud speeds, DTR and RTS combinations of on/off, etc. and I believe every combination of options that are available when setting the configuration.  All to no avail.   I have tried it with Windows 7, Windows XP and even an old  Windows 2000 computers.  The same results with all.

The K3 has the latest firmware installed (MCU 5.62).  Other programs such as the K3 Utility, K3-EZ and logging programs connect without a problem. (They are not connected when I try to run S Meter Lite).
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get theis program to run?

Hi Steve,
I can confirm it works on a K3.  I'll shoot you my phone via private email.

   Hi Steve
     I have S Meter Lite running on my K3S (w/P3 & KTA1500) connected to a fairly new HP desktop running windows 10 and utilizing the standard USB connection.  If it helps any I have the P3  connected to the compute through  the K3S. The KPA 1500 is on a separate USB cable directly to the computer
    I wish I could be of more help, but in my case it downloaded, installed and ran right off the bat.
     If I can check anything or try anything specific for you let me know.

Problem solved.  Thank you to NK7Z-Dave Cole, who walked me through the correct configuration and as a bonus offered tips on the program's features.  All is well!
