Setting RS232 baudrate

Dick Grolleman
HI ALL

Just installed version 4.05 in my K3 to run my P3 as well
I always used the microkeyer at 4800 baud from the K3, but I'm not able anymore to set any other speed in the K3 as 38400. Yes I can change it, but the radio does not store it when I leave the menu. And I just can't get it to work on 38400, don't know why.

So now my micro keyer is not reading the Radio
any solutions?

Dick, try this to set your speed to 4800:

Start the K3 Utility.
On the Port tab, press "Test communications".  The K3 Utility should find
the radio at any of the supported speeds.
Go to the command tester tab.  Type "BR0;" (including the semicolon, but not
the quotes) to choose 4800 bps.
Go to the port tab and press "Test communications". Hopefully the radio will
be at 4800 bps.
Press the K3 power button to turn it off.  During power-down, the K3 should
write the current selected speed to EEPROM for the next power up.
Press the K3 power button to turn it back on.  Press "test communications".
The radio should now be at 4800 bps.

The P3 forces the K3 to 38,400 bps whenever it is turned on.
You set the baud rate for the P3 <-> computer (including the
microKEYER) link using the "RS-232" menu item in the P3.

Tap the P3 MENU button
rotate the encoder until RS232 item is displayed
tap the select knob
rotate the encoder counter clockwise until 4,800 is displayed
tap the select knob to select 4800

The alternative is to adjust microKEYER and your logging software
to operate at 38,400 bps.

73,

I didn't read your note carefully enough.

As W4TV correctly points out, the P3 to K3 speed is always 38400.  The PC to
P3 speed can be set to 4800 using the P3 front panel or the BR command.

 And, I'm sure the P3 communicates with the K3 for a reason.  Why would you want to communicate at a lower speed, anyway?
