I have had the same problem. It is most annoying to see the K2 picture (ain't she pretty!) on the HRD webpage and not get mine to work with my XP machine over the serial-to-USB converter.
After a lot of tests, I have concluded that there is something amiss in the converter and the HRD software. Why? The same converter/k2/cpu combo works fine with Logger32. I've tried 2 different chipset converters with the same results. The most recent is one from IOGear that has a polling light on it which provided this interesting tidbit of info: when using HRD, the polling light does not show a consistent polling rate. There are times when the light flickers more than once in between the 500mS polls. Meanwhile, the frequency display (and subsequent data loaded into the log) varies: sometimes it is 7.042.50 like the rig says, sometimes it is 70 while other times it is just 7042. One other test: on another computer using a REAL RS-232 interface, HRD and my K2 act like a happily married couple. I know this test changes two variables but it is an interesting data point. So, I've stopped trying to figure it out and will be content to use Logger32 instead of HRD until such a time that the shack computer can have a REAL RS-232. Since the computer is a laptop and doesn't have an empty slot available, it's either throw out a completely working computer or wait for it crash. Now, the disc drive has been acting funny, so maybe there is a new shack computer in the future... Remember when ham radio was only about radios??!! 73, Clark KE4RQ -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K2-KUSB-PROBLEM-tp4472555p4542313.html Sent from the [K2] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
