[Elecraft] K3 Help

[Dick Dievendorff]

The K3 Utility command tester is showing you the characters it is receiving.
Something is sending data over that COM port.

Please make sure that the COM port you have selected in the PORTS tab is the
one connected to your K3.

Try turning your K3's power off (by removing the power connector, if
necessary) and see if the data streaming stops. If it doesn't, the data
isn't coming from your K3; maybe the COM port is connected to something
else, or perhaps there's a defective cable.

Dick, K6KR

I have noticed something new as well. When I click on the command tester
tab,
the window pops up and a strange "y" with 2 dots over top of it are rapidly
scrolling across the screen and filling it up.Hmmmm very strange????? When I
disconnect the serial cable from the rig, it stops.
