Bill, well, this over-educated, self described computer good computer handler, found the problem. I reseated everything -- the USB to serial cables were all seated well to begin with. But, I gave the 1/8 inch plug connected to the RS-232 an extra wiggle and then it seated down a tad more and all works as advertised. Maybe my stupidity in not checking the easy stuff first will help someone else. Then again, there in not likely a member here that is as dumb as I am. Thanks much, Bill, your note made me all the more intent on finding the problem.
Have a good weekend and, I must say that XG3 is one neat piece of equipment and worth every penny even with the things I have done with it so far. Congratulations to Elecraft for another neat and flexible piece of equipment. I love my Elecraft equipment and thanks to all who develop, refine, service, support, assemble, ship and communicate with dumb hams like me. 73 Greg K2UM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
