[Elecraft] KIO2 troubleshooting

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Jason,

Do you have the computer port set correctly?  4800 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 or 2 stop bits, handshaking set off (none).

Some USB to serial port adapters have caused problems with some pieces of
control software.  Can you use a different computer with a real serial port
(or a different adapter) for a test?

73,
Don W3FPR
