Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Rig Control Error
I wish to thank all the folks here who offered helpful comments on the problem. Yes, I did all the checking of ports and drivers and connections - I've been dealing with those sort of things for years so I've been there, but with no resolution this time. Neil did relate his solution to the problem and I will respectfully continue with him off-line as to the details. Again, thanks for the assist.-- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Rig Control Error
Phil, I've got my K2/100 running under Win10 using DXLabs Commander. I could never get WSJT-X running the K2 directly using the built in Hamlib settings, or with Omnirig or Flrig. It works fine, and I was able to create custom controls for Commander to adjust the power if I'm running remotely using VNC.

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Rig Control Error
Interesting. Using Windows 10 Pro I have one radio {model/brand} if I plug it in, set the application to communicate with the port as defined in Device Manager, all is well. I can then turn the radio off and then back on, changing no cables or ports, and find the same application will not communicate with the radio. Then I look at Device Manager and find that the port number has changed. I change the port number in the application and all is welluntil next time. And with another radio {Elecraft K3S}, I do not find that changing the physical USB connection on the computer will cause the communication port number to change. Hence the port assignment is sticky. This says to me all USB drivers are not created equal. And likewise, I've experienced no issues being the result of Windows 10 updates. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 4/25/2019 4:14 PM, Michael Blake via Elecraft wrote: My Window10 computer has 4 USB C ports and a 7 port USB3 hub.

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Rig Control Error
Windows will usually assign the same port number IF you plug it into the same USB port. You can go into Properties for each device and change the port number - COM1 and COM2 are usually reserved for serial ports on the motherboard, even if no RS-232 ports are present on the board. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/25/2019 4:14 PM, David Haines wrote: Thanks for the confirmation.

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Rig Control Error
I'm having similar problems after going from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I'm using a KX3 on FT8 with WSJT-X, cheap $10 Sabrent USB Soundcard, nothing in the 9-pin RS-232 wired port of a Dell Inspiron 3670. It all works well most of the time, but ... . Occasionally I get one of the two error messages you show. My conjecture is that is has something to do with the COM ports, or shortage thereof. The KX3 utility lists only one, COM3, when I try to download to the KX3. It appears the COM3 port was taken over by another peripheral, maybe a printer? Sometimes a reboot of the PC fixes it, but it would be nice to have a permanent solution. Can you communicate to the K2 using the K2 Utility? 73 de david, KC1DNY, in the Maine woods. elecraft KX3 s/n 8651 On 4/24/2019 11:02 PM, Phil Kane wrote: Problem (described below) with the WSJTX program (the "home" of FT8) trying to access K2.
