Absolutely. It is easy to overlook the obvious. In problems of this sort the
most likely culprit is always software, followed by cabling.

It's a good idea to use the Terminal facility of the K3 Utility to test
communication. Try sending FA; and see if you get a frequency back. A common
problem especially with USB adapters is that data is corrupted. You may not
see this with a normal application as it will probably ignore the corrupt
data and behave as if it is not connected.
