We know that the K2 works with Writelog in all sorts of serial
interfaces, including USB serial adapters. I would wonder if the PCI
serial port is somehow expecting handshake signals which the K2
doesn't have (and presumably you do not have connected). If the port
is looking for an input handshake that never occurs, it will tend not
to work. You might look at the connector to see how RTS/CTS and DSR/
DTR are connected - they may need to be looped back for that card.
Also check the serial port docs to see what it really needs.
Good luck!

Symptom: Freq polling shows wrong frequency and cycles through the

Following Hank's suggetion, I tried the single COM1 that I have on
the motherboard. On this the K2 and Writelog work. There is no
problem.
I have not had a problem with any other rig on the Rocketport.
Indeed, my Yaesu 1KMP has no problem on the very port where K2 does
not work.
I also do not have a problem with N1MM logger and any COM port.
Very odd. It is only the combination of Writelog and the PCI
Serial Ports that have the problem. With our without the XVs I
still have the problem. Essentially K2 - Writelog - PCI Serial
Port are a no-go combination. Very odd.
Could something in my KIO2 be busted? Or is it a design issue?
Why shouldn't K2 work with all logging programs if hooked up
correctly?
Thanks,

I had that happen with one USB - Serial cable. I tried all
the settings in the Ports section in WriteLog and could
not get it to quit going through the bands.
When I switched to another USB - Serial cable the problem
went away.
Not sure why!

I tried to use my K2/KIO2/XV combination with Writelog for last
weekend's CQWW VHF competition and failed.
I hooked up the K2 to a serial port and set it up on Writelog. While
Writelog recognized the rig and could set the frequency, it went
crazy while polling the rig for frequency. It would keep cycling
through all the bands and show random frequency that seemed to
change
with each poll.
(BTW, the combination worked just fine with N1MM logger.)
Has any one else noticed this? Any fix?
Thanks,
Raj
