Rich, I am running my K2 with the latest firmware and Ham Radio Deluxe works fine here. If the K2 operates properly with any program (check with a simplistic one, like HyperTerm), then the K2 is responding properly and you can look for the solution in your computer - the answer will be found in how Windows is working with your application.
Yes, there is no flow control (and that is not a problem), it is strictly a command/response protocol, but it has always been that way, and it has always worked for me as long as I set up the computer port properly. Try setting the baud rate and flow control for the computer serial port from the Windows Device Manager as well as from the application and see if your responses are any better. If you are using a USB to serial port adapter, be certain you have the proper drivers - depending on how your computer handles task switching for that adapter device, you may find the problem there. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I recently completed my K2.
