[Elecraft] KIO2 sends out to pc but doesn't take commands from pc

[james1787 at aol.com]

I have been working with the KIO2 for a while to try to get it to work. 
It's never really worked since I put it in.

Today I verified with another PC that the K2 does indeed send data 
through the KIO2 but it does not receive. I ran the test as described 
on page 14 of the KIO2 manual. Steps 1,2,3,4 works fine I get the 
FA0xxxxxxxx; to come up in hyperterminal when I hit the DISPLAY button 
as instructed. When I try step 5, which is to type SW01; then nothing 
happens. The software I tried cannot connect to the K2 either.

The settings on my serial port (COM1) in Device manager (windows 2003 
production) are as follows:
Bits Per Second: 4800
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 2
Flow Control: None

I am still baffled by what would cause one way communication, but not 
two way communication between the K2 and the PC.

73,
