from John K3JK

hi everyone, would like to ask the group about a problem. I had no problem with my K2 connecting with my N4PY software before a KAT/100 update from 1.09 to 1.10. ever since the update and service to the radio, I can not connnect with my control software. Even with ham radio delux, it locates the comport, but when trying to connect with frequency on radio, the program can not. Has anyone run into this problem before? John K3JK

Have you confirmed that the port settings in Winders, the application,
and the radio all match?

John,

Remove the KAT100 AUX I/O cable and see if you can connect. If so, the
problem is in the KAT100 or its cable to the K2.
There is likely something that you inadvertently touched (and changed)
in the KAT100 during the firmware upgrade. The N4PY software (and HRD)
do not use any of the signals that are required for K2 to KAT100
communication, but the conductors involved do come near one another in
the cable that attaches to the K2, so you may find your problem there.

There is one quite simple thing to check first - the cable plugging
between the KAT100 and the K2 - the housing with the 2 cables attached
must connect to the K2 - if that connector is found on your KAT100, your
K2 to computer communications will not work because there are no wires
present for the two RS-232 signals.

73,
Don W3FPR
