[Elecraft] K3 Utility Save Configeration freezes
I've found that all RS-232 to USB cables / converters are not created equal. Some work. Some do not. However those containing the FTDI chipset do work. I purchased mine from R T Systems. 100% succes on every application and computer I've tried. https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/ 73 Bob, K4TAX <https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/> Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2015 07:24:08 -0700 (MST) From: way235 via Elecraft<elecraft@mailman.qth.net> To:elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Utility Save Configeration freezes Message-ID:<1442067848692-7607476.p...@n2.nabble.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I found that my computer has a serial connector so I ordered a serial cable.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Utility Save Configeration freezes
Most of the issues with the Prolific cable/converters is with a flood of fakes and Prolific's policy of changing the drivers to reject them. They can be made to work using an older driver and disabling Windows Update for that driver. I have both, but I do prefer the FTDI. I've just ordered a multi-port serial converter, so we'll see how that works out. 73, Alan.

I am out of town untill Friday. I ordered a 10 foot serial cable and will see how it works. If you works in a few seconds then I will see if I can get the serial to Iusb work. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Utility-Save-Configeration-freezes-tp7607149p7607320.html Sent from the Elecraft 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

G'day, FWIW config save on my Win7/64 box with 38400 bit/sec between it and the K3 takes about 4 seconds beginning to end.

The Save Configuration is a 3k file and saves about 80% in a couple of seconds and the last 20% in about 10 minutes.

You might want to look at your computer. It sounds to me like K3Utility has no problem gathering the configuration information, but your computer is having trouble saving the data to the file. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/6/2015 11:44 PM, way235 via Elecraft wrote: way235 wrote The Save Configuration is a 3k file and saves about 80% in a couple of seconds and the last 20% in about 10 minutes.
