[Elecraft] K3 -> SteppIR comm problem

[Dick Dievendorff]

Perhaps you're not getting band data from  the K3.  

 

Try connecting the K3 Utility to the K3, select the K3 Utility's "Command
Tester" tab and move the K3 VFO A knob and make band changes with the K3's
band selector.  You should observe "IF"  data being sent from the K3 to the
PC program when the VFO stops and when the band is changed with the K3's
bandswitch.

 

If that's not happening, your K3 isn't sending band change data that the
SteppIR controller depends upon.

 

Then type "AI1;" (including the semicolon) in the command tester input
screen and repeat this, turning VFO A and changing bands.

I should have pointed out that the specific problem I am trying to solve now
is a hard connect from K3 RS232 port to SteppIR Data In port.  No Y cable,
no PC based software involved.  I am not convinced that the SteppIR is
"listening".
