Hi Gordon, I recently, and finally, got to the point where I needed to set up band maps in my KRC2. I also use PCIe serial cards and Windows 10 and the problem I had was the cable. Once I built a cable using exactly the pinouts in the KRC2 manual (instead of cables I had laying around), it worked fine, as did the firmware update.
Sorry I cannot be of more help, but that is what worked for me. 73, Byron N6NUL On Thu, Oct 22, 2015 at 5:38 AM, Gordon LaPoint <gordon.lapo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Jack, and others that have sent advice > > I have the latest manual from the Elecraft website.
