I use Logic 8 as a logging program, and it has communicated fine over a
serial port with my K3 (s/n 1826).  Today a windstorm dropped a tree across
a power line, and the power surged on and off several times before going off
completely.  The computer is a Dell laptop in a docking station.  The
computer is powered through a UPS.  My K3 is powered by a stout Astron
RS-35M linear supply (that is not on the UPS).

I don't know if there is a causal agent at work, but now I have
communications issues.  If I turn the radio on and launch Logic 8, the
computer and radio seem to communicate OK at first.  Then after maybe 5 to
10 minutes, the computer puts up a message that the link has been lost and
the communications stops (no frequency updating, etc.).  If I close and
reopen Logic 8, they communicate for a bit before the message comes back.

Any suggestions?  Thank you.
