I fired my K3 up in preparation for CQWW RRTY this weekend. I run MixW.

When I checked the CAT operation, it wouldn't work properly ie gave me some monsensical frequency readings in MixW's log. I thought it may have been a new motherboard in my PC, but checked the operation with my K2 and it worked fine. The settings of the K3 are:

RS232 38499 b
KIO3 nor

MixW's settings are 38400 8 N 1, unchanged from the last time I used the rig.
COM 1 on the PC motherboard is set to 38400 8 N 1.

I tried a PCie dual serial port card in the PC motherboard - same problem.

I turned the baud rate down to 19200 in the K3, MixW and on the PC motherboard and all now seems to work as it should. I can live with that. But the question remains: is the KIO3 board becoming faulty?
