Got a reply back from Tom (Mr. Win4K3) in short order…here’s what he said to do and now it works !
Hi, The KX3 is usually set up by default to run at 9600 baud. There is a menu option in the radio (RS232) to set it at 38400 which is what I usually tell people to do. The Elecraft utility auto senses baud rate, so it doesn't matter but Win4K3 doesn't so you need to have it set up in the KX3 itself. Let me know if this fixes the issue please. Thanks What a great guy, great product and Elecraft-like support. Life is pretty good :-) 73, Brian K3USC > On Sep 4, 2015, at 4:49 PM, Brian Hemmis <bhem...@mac.com> wrote: > > Haven’t used my KX3 in many months so I hooked it back up and went to the > Elecraft site and updated everything with no issues. > As I recently purchased Win4K3 software and am successfully using it with my > K3 I figured I’d try it with the KX3.
