Dick... Thanks for responding. Still no joy after going through all the HELP suggestions. The problem seems to be an inability to connect from the computer to the K3. Note, this whole arrangement has been working perfectly up to this point. No cable changes, etc. What I get when trying to establish a connection to the K3 is a steady hunt through various baud rates with no success. I have cycled everything many times. I am not using a serial-USB adapter. I am connecting via a microHAM CW KEYER [which has been working without problems]. I think I'm getting desperate! Thanks again.
