[Elecraft] K3 usb to serial

[Dick Dievendorff]

What program are you using to poll the K3?

If it's the K3 Utility, please make sure you've selected the correct COM
port.  There's information in K3 Utility Help to assist in finding the COM
port that corresponds to your KUSB.  If there is more than one choice in the
Port page's COM port selector, try other ones.

There have been defective USB to Serial cables, there have been defective PC
USB hubs, and there have been failures in the K3's KIO3.  Generally the
issue is selecting the wrong COM port or a defective cable.  Can you try
another cable?  

If available, try a "real" RS-232 port in preference to any USB to Serial
adapter.

Has this ever worked for you?

Dick, K6KR

Can anyone guess what I am NOT doing correctly?

KUSB (Prolific usb) driver installed in Windows xp pro with SP3

Windows says installed and working correctly. (No matter which usb port I
plug the usb to serial cable into.

Speed is set to 38400 on the PC and K3 but still just wants to poll the K3
but does not connect.

What am I missing here?...apart from having lost the plot long ago...(:-))
