A few months ago I was working on a Visual Basic program to control my K3. 2 days ago when I went back to do some coding, I had a problem where, when I opened the Comm port, the K3 would transmit. I tried sending the RX software command to the K3 but it didn't help. It was stuck in transmit! I'm not sure what happened but after I explored VB6 MSComm Event, I found that my code didn't initialize the RTS line. RTSEnable is a VB6 comm control that can toggle the RS232, RTS line low or high. The K3 detects the signal from the RS232 port and immediately places it in transmit mode. I added a line of code and the problem was solved.
There's also an annoying problem that in valves the comm port. Every time in turn on my PC, during boot-up, the K3 momentarily transmits. Is there a way to prevent that or every time I turn on the PC, do I have to turn off the K3? ----- Jack WA9FVP Sent from my TRS-80 :-) -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-and-VB6-tp7593796.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
