[Elecraft] K3 Utility problems

[Dave, G4AON]

I have the same firmware and utility versions, also running XP (Pro) and 
a real serial port at 38400 bps. Mine is working OK and reads (and will 
alter) the filter settings when the K3 is on AM/SSB/CW etc.

You mention the problem has existed for two firmware updates, have you 
tried earlier firmware or an earlier version of the utility?

-------------------

When I try and examine the filter configuration in SSB or AM mode:
"Unable to read K3 crystal filter configuration"

In the CW and DATA modes, all is OK. The filter configurations are
shown properly.

This problem now has existed for two firmware updates.

Use the utility with a real RS232 port at 38400 bps.
WIN-XP. Firmware upgrades went OK so the PC-K3 link is good.
There are no serial-usb converters to blame.

This shouldn't be. Feedback like: "mine doesn't do that" isn't helpful.

Redownloading and reinstalling the firmware program doesn't fix it.
