Unfortunately with the recent security upgrades these Java applications will NOT execute on Windows 8.1 with Java 8 Update 40 UNLESS YOU ADD http://udel.edu to Java's Exception Site List. Since Java doesn't like http:// you must click to accept the risk. But the dialog in which you must agree is hidden behind the Java security dialog and you CANNOT get to it. And the default action is NO! So, after you depress ADD to insert the url into Java's Exception Site List you will see the same screen you saw upon entry. Stay calm! Depress the TAB key to move to the focus from the hidden NO button to the hidden YES button (you can't see this) then depress ENTER.
So PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG! I will not flame or even be embarrassed. This is a PITA! And I don't think the JNLP code will work off-line. It still has to access resources found at http://udel.edu. BTW, the software is great!

I have just serviced a K2 where the previous owner had had soldering problems (untinned toroids, solder bridges, ...) as well as settings which were far off. I find it useful then to start by reading out the settings to figure out what the starting point is, as well as backing up all the values when the calibration has been completed. The AB3AP software is in the form of Java programs. My web browsers don't allow them to be run, but simply downloading the code and running them from the command line works fine. For a PC this is "javaws params.jnlp". ----- Sverre, LA3ZA K2 #2198, K3 #3391, LA3ZA Blog: http://la3za.blogspot.com, LA3ZA Unofficial Guide to K2 modifications: http://la3za.blogspot.com/p/la3za-unofficial-guide-to-elecraft-k2.html -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-Settings-Retrieval-Software-tp759992 1.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:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
