You should be able to change the K3 baud rate without power cycling the radio.
My PC programs that connect to the K3 try each of the supported baud rates and sync at the K3's speed without prompting the user for the speed. I'm also able to programmatically change the K3's baud rate and sync at the new baud rate without powering off the K3. I'd suggest you try this: Connect your logging program and get it working. Now close the logging program. Change the K3's RS-232 baud rate (from the K3 front panel) to a different speed, and then set it back to the original speed without powering the K3 on or off. Then reconnect with your logging program. If it can connect, then your K3 can change baud rates without a power cycle. Alternatively, start the K3 Utility, and on the Ports page, try "test communications", read the baud rate, then change the K3's baud rate from the front panel, and try "test communications" again. The K3 Utility should detect the new baud rate. Maybe the logging program has to be restarted when you change K3 baud rates?

I have noticed when I change the radio baud rate that I must power off radio and back on to get the new rate synchronized. its a minor thing but I am curious if this is normal? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-RS-232-tp1349381p1349381.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
