[Elecraft] K3 and HRD - can't connect

[Dick Dievendorff]

If the USB to Serial Adapter is COM9 and HRD is opening COM3, then HRD isn't
going to find your K3.

 

Maybe you can change the USB to Serial Adapter to use a COM port number
that's within the range of COM ports that HRD supports.  The Windows Device
Manager will let you choose the COM port you want, as long as it isn't
already in use.  I set my computer to use COM255 for testing the KUSB with
the K3 Utility to verify that it works for a wide range of COM port numbers.

    I am attempting to connect to my K3 with HRD. I am using the Elecraft
USB to serial port to connect them. The USB to serial port connector is on
COM 9, has the latest drivers and has been successfully used to install K3
firmware v 4.26. HRD will not let me choose COM 9. COM 3, which HRD wants is
said to be in use when I look at the possibility of changing to COM3. The
K3, the port and HRD are all set for 38400 baud. Using auto-select for the
COM port selection, HRD finds port 3 and fails to connect giving the error
messages frrquency =0 and K3 COM3 38400 Failed to read frequency.

 

    Ideas please?
Larry
