command (change frequency) requires 0.5 seconds when changing bands and
that *all command handling is deferred until the process is complete*.

Got it! It was suggested in an email that I install an old version of
HRD. I did that (5.24.xxx) and sure enough - all is working just fine now.
Question is:
Is it the fault of a Windows update?
Is it the fault of an updated version of HRD.
Fact is:
It is not the fault of the K3!
The jury
Also have noticed that when using the K-Pod to QSY:
HRD is very slow to report the current frequency and cannot keep up with
the VFO. The K3 display works properly with the K-Pod.

Bill,
Please let me know if you see slow comms between the K3 and otehr
programs. I am seeing that in some cases.

Bill,
Have you looked at the RS232 menu to check the baud rate?
If you have a P3 check that too.
Set it for 38400.

Hi,
I too have had issues with the serial port speed of my K3 as well. My
issues are when using MixW though, not HRD. When I switched from my
Icom 756 PROIII to the K3, (using MixW), I was appalled at the loss in
speed for rig control. I have never fully resolved this issue, and will

Just a thought, try disabling windows
defender when you are having this issue.

All are good suggestions and I have tried them all. No difference noted.
I run Malwarebytes and trust it. I do good cleanings periodically.
The older SSD I tried was used as the primary C drive while testing - no
other drives plugged in. No changes there either.
What is strange is the fact
Also there are applications that will remove scraps of updates, faulty
files, excessive Registry entries and such. Sounds like time to do
some in-depth computer house cleaning. Also, a virus or malware will
consume resources and really bog down a computer basically doing nothing.

Can you try the K3 utility and talk directly to the K3 and eliminate HRD
from the picture? You could try the Windows and Linux versions and compare
operation. Someone else may have to suggest what operation would exercise
the interface. I would NOT try a firmware upgrade, try something innocuous
Bill,
Have you run the Windows Task Manager to see if the cpu, disk and/or memory
is being heavily utilized; stuck at 100% or thereabouts on a regular basis?

Computer has a serial board with two ports. One for the K3 (P3) and one
for the 480. Not used for anything else. No adapters.
Pulled a two month old backup SSD out of the safe. No go - did not work
then either.
I am sure the computer is busy doing something - which I don't know
about -
Bill,
Aren't computers fun? If it is a Windows update, there will be a restore
point to go back to. Click on the Windows icon in the lower left corner
of your screen and type 'restore' and you can find the latest restore
points with their dates. Try going back to the latest one.

Suddenly, HRD is no longer working with my K3:
Using my K3, I initially click on a favorite - the rig responds
immediately. After a few seconds (less than 10), I click on another
favorite and there will be a multi-second delay (about 6 or 7 seconds)
before the change takes place. Changing
