Dear Don and Elecrafters: With KUSB I get the jumping freq display described earlier. When I switch to my older Keyspan Serial Adapter, the freq readout on HRD stays rock solid--BUT the K2 then displays the freq, then the power, then the freq...at odd intervals. The power number is going up and down by itself. When I transmit with PWR set to 7 watts, I get a HI CURR message, the proper number of bars light up BUT the three bars to the right of those are half lit! I've never seen that before. When I disconnect the serial cable and kill HRD the K2 behaves like its usual marvelous self.
What is going on? When I first built the K2 about 6 months ago I tested it with the Keyspan adapter and all seemed well--but I didn't use it with a computer after that. 73, Eric WD6DBM ----- Original Message ---- From: Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> To: Eric <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, October 19, 2009 6:04:53 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2 with HRD freq wanders Eric, While that test may indicate the failure is in the K2, as "Sportin' Life" from Porgy & Bess says "It ain't necessarily so". If you have another USB to Serial converter available, try that first. 73, Don WFPR Eric wrote: > Dear Don: > I should have mentioned that the same computer, cable, USB converter works > fine with the TS-480 connected to HRD.
