Phil: The easiest way to check things out is by substitution. First try a different computer, preferably one with a built-in serial port. Do you have a spare one that wasn't affected by the event? If not,do you have a friend with a laptop (and a USB-serial adapter) who wouldn't mind having Logic 8 installed temporarily as a test? Do you have another radio (not necessarily a K-3) that you can check with your current computer? It seems to me it might be possible to substitute all 3 components (radio, computer, USB-serial adapter) one at a time and come up with the answer. If Logic 8 worked with no problems before, I doubt the software is the issue, but you could also try different logging software as well. Hope this helps.
