Re: [Elecraft] Problem connecting LP_Bridge through the P3 to the K3

Alan, Thanks for your note. I do have all the players, the K3, P3, and LP-Bridge, set up for 38400 baud so I don't think that's the problem. I'll experiment more tonight with different parameters in LP-Bridge to see if I can see what sensitivities there are. I'll let you know. Thanks, 73,

Hi, Ted: Yes, the LP-Bridge requires one to keep the P3 turned off until the end. LP-Bridge is not required, of course, but I had left mine in play because I originally was running the P3 and the LP-PAN in parallel and hadn't gotten around to reassigning COM ports to my logging

Thanks Gary, I have an LP-PAN and will continue to use it even though I have the P3. It is still needed if you want to run CWSkimmer. Even if I weren't going to use LP-PAN I would still want to keep LP-Bridge running because it allows multiple programs to control the K3 - one of those things

... Maybe it is a nit on my part but the RS-232 port on the P3 is supposed to be transparent to apps connecting to the K3 via RS-232 and it isn't - not strictly speaking anyway since LP-Bridge hangs while connecting to the K3 if the P3 is on. I figure now is the time to get Elecraft to

Nevertheless, it's not transparent. Maybe we should allow it to be translucent? :-) 73, Ted, W2ZK On 8/8/2010 12:22 PM, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: ... Maybe it is a nit on my part but the RS-232 port on the P3 is supposed to be transparent to apps connecting to the K3 via RS-232 and it

Nevertheless, it's not transparent. Depends on one's definition of transparent. It appears to work with every application I've thrown at it except for initializing LP-Bridge. To me that implies an issue with LP-Bridge - perhaps an excessive sensitivity to timing - not an issue with the P3/K3.

Do you know how the P3 is implementing the transparency? Why do you feel it necessary to prejudge? Oh, right ... 73, Ted, W2ZK On 8/8/2010 8:07 PM, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: Nevertheless, it's not transparent. Depends on one's definition of transparent. It appears to work with every

Even with the latest version of LP-BRIDGE (9.8), I continue to experience some rig time outs. All occur during periods of transmitting where one does not drop back to RX during that period. Direct connect without LP-BRIDGE shows none of these. They happen even with the K3 throttled back to

Do you know how the P3 is implementing the transparency? Only that it appears to implement it with all of the software I've tested (except for LP-Bridge obviously). Why do you feel it necessary to prejudge? Who is prejudging? If other software operates normally while LP-Bridge which has
