[Elecraft] RS-232 Question

[DW Holtman]

Hello,

 I have hooked up an old computer out in my shop. I made some cables and I'm in the process of trying to talk to my K2 via the computer. I have a KPA100 in the K2. The software I'm using is the K2 remote from the Elecraft web page. I have set it for comm port1 (the only port available on the computer) and get a message that no K2 can be found.

I have ohmed the cables and think they are good. They also have connectors for a KAT100 (which is backordered) and a XV50 (which I'm having other problems). So the only thing connected is the K2 and the computer.

Is there an easy way to determine if the problem is in the KPA100, the cables or the computer?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Best,
DW Holtman
