John,

I hate to tell you to look for whatever you changed in your software
configuration.  However, there is absolutely no difference in TX Focus
whether one is using a pair of FT-1000MP or a pair of K3s!

My best guess would be that you have - in no particular order -
1) set "Radio Nr" for the "MK2R Port" in N1MM to 1 or 2 instead
   of "Both"
2) failed to set the "Control" Port in Router to the same port
   as you configured as the MK2R port in N1MM
3) failed to set an MK2R port (Two Radio Protocol) in N1MM
4) failed to enable the MK2R Port (check CW/Other) in N1MM
5) failed to select "microHAM control protocol on COM port" on
   the SO2R tab in microHAM Router
6) failed to select "Auto" on TX Focus (MK2R front panel).

N1MM Classic is no longer supported by the N1MM development team.
However, the example configuration for N1MM Classic and MK2R+ is
available here:
  <http://www.microham.com/Downloads/MK2R_N1MM_USB_Setup.pdf>

Since N1MM Classic and N1MM Logger+ can not be installed at the same
time, I can no longer provide updates/specific support for N1MM
Classic.

Hi all,

If you do not use N1MM and an MK2R(+) with at least one K3 radio,
then you should probably skip the rest of this message, because it
won't be relevant to you.

I have been using N1MM (classic, under Windows XP) with my MK2R+ and
a pair of Yaesu FT-1000MP's for a few years with good success.  I
have just replaced the two Yaesu radios with a K3 and a K3S.

It took me the first 90 minutes of the Sweepstakes to get to the
point where N1MM saw both of my radios and was able to send CW.
Thankfully, I did get that far.  But despite several more hours of
playing with every setting I could think of, I could not figure out
how to make the MK2R+ transmit on the proper radio in "Auto" mode,
i.e. the radio that has transmit focus in N1MM.  So I was forced to
switch manually using the front panel buttons on the MK2R+.

I know it seems like this issue should be posted on either the
MicroHam or N1MM reflectors. However, my MicroHam device was working
perfectly fine with N1MM with my Yaesu radios, and the problem only
started happening when I switched over to the K3's.  So I figured my
best bet would be to reach out to people who have succeeded in making
the MK2R and N1MM work properly with a couple of Elecraft radios, and
this is where I can find that crowd!

Can anyone who has been successful getting N1MM and an MK2R+ to work
with a pair of Elecraft K3 or K3S radios please kindly either point
me to a document showing how to do it, and what all the relevant
settings are, or else perhaps share with me either some screen shots
or photos of your configuration screens, or a copy of the page in
your station configuration log where you documented all of this?   I
have found numerous docs online, but couldn't find any that address
SO2R with an MK2R and a pair of Elecraft rigs.  I have pulled out
about as much hair as I can afford to pull out.

Thanks!

73,

John W2ID

p.s.  Yes, I am aware that I shouldn't still be using Windows XP.
The PC is used only for contesting, I subscribe to the "if it ain't
broke, don't fix it" philosophy. :-)
