I am using COM 1 and it is the only one available in the drop down list of the K3 utility. The streaming characters stop when I unplug the COM cable from the rear of the rig. This tells me that the K3 is for some reason sending a solid stream of characters that can be seen in the command tester page. The firmware page continues to say K3 is not responding or unable to communicate with K3. I have no idea why the rig would be sending a stream of characters.
