I have always loved self-healing electronics. By starting from scratch you removed the corruption issue. Way to go.

I contacted Elecraft yesterday and ran things past them. I was given a few suggestions, and decided to "pretend" it was a new set-up. I am not sure what was going on, but with the USB cable plugged into the same USB port on the same computer, when I turned the radio on, it went through a complete new set-up; including installing the drivers and audio CODECs. It even gave me the same COM port number. I am going to attribute it to divine intervention, as I did a lot of praying for it to be something simple! Things are working as normal, and a "boat load" of toroids are on the way!! Thanks again. 73 de Jim - KE8G On Sat, Mar 23, 2019 at 6:32 PM Don Wilhelm <donw...@embarqmail.com> wrote: > Checking communications capability with K3 Utility is always a good > first step when you have problems with communications with the K3/K3S > (similar for KX3/KX2). > If the Utility can communicate, then you should know to look to your > computer applications and their setup information for the problem. > > If the Utility cannot connect, it is either a computer port assignment > problem, a USB to serial adapter problem (including the adapter built > into the K3S) or a K3/K3S problem. > > So depending on the results of the K3 Utility "Test Communications", > you will know where to look for the problem.
