Interesting. In my operating position, I use a RigExpert Plus between the K3 and the computer. This device includes a USB <-> RS232 converter. After running Utility, I have no problem running HRD over the same port. In my development position, I use a standard serial port (no USB adapter). Similarly, I have never had a problem with the serial port being blocked after closing Utility. Previously, I have used a Prolific chipset-based USB <-> RS232 dongle (similar to the KUSB sold by Elecraft), and I've never had a problem with another application using that serial port after Utility ha sused it and I closed Utility. Running XP Pro SP3 on the computers involved, and SP2 prior to that with the same results. YMMV (and apparently does!), Lyle KK7P ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
