HiWhy not set the baud rate in the k3s to 38300 and be done with it?It's a menu option under rs232.Just set it and your software to 38400 and you will never worry about ut again.73 Tom va2fsq.com

I am running a K3s and the issue is with the USB com port. First, the com port assignment is com 27 which seems strange for my simple PC set up. I have tried to go into the Windows control panel and change it to a lower # available port, but it will not take, but this is not the issue. My problem is that the com port will sometimes be recognized by the K3 utility or other programs as either 9600 or 38400 baud on a totally random basis. If I connect at 9600 the K3s will after a while change its port rate to 38400 and I have to close the program that I am using and re start it at 38400. This will work fine for a while until the K3s then resets it baud rate again to 9600 and I have to re start the program that I am using. Using programs like WSJT-X which now has rig control is very frustrating and I usually just turn off the rig control and use the com 27 only for ptt control. I have even had issues while using WSJT-X and the rig control, that will change the K3s com port to a new baud rate between Rx & Tx transitions. Are there any suggestions out there? I only have a PC in the shack and can’t try another PC. Is this a K3 issue of something with my PC?
