Thank you to those who answered with suggestions. As I was fooling around with it trying to understand where the problem was coming from, Logic 8 had a terminal error and shut down. Restarting the application after an unnormal close, caused the program to reinitialize and rebuild the database. After that took place, I have run the K3 and computer for a day without errors. It appears to have "fixed itself". The tree is one of thousands here and will not be missed. Thanks again,

Today a windstorm dropped a tree across a power line, and the power surged on and off several times before going off completely. The computer is a Dell laptop in a docking station. The computer is powered through a UPS. My K3 is powered by a stout Astron RS-35M linear supply (that is not on the UPS). I don't know if there is a causal agent at work, but now I have communications issues. If I turn the radio on and launch Logic 8, the computer and radio seem to communicate OK at first. Then after maybe 5 to 10 minutes, the computer puts up a message that the link has been lost and the communications stops (no frequency updating, etc.). If I close and reopen Logic 8, they communicate for a bit before the message comes back. Any suggestions? Thank you. 73, Phil, NS7P ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
