[Elecraft] NaP3 and KX3 connection

[Ron Gruner]

Don,

Thanks.  Good advice. I was mistaken, the KX3 Utility uses COM 6, not COM 3 
like I thought.  So I got that part working.  Now I'm trying to figure out 
why both the Utility and NaP3 are only communicating at 4800 baud, instead 
of the usual 38400.  I have the latest FTDI drivers for the USB Adapter.

On another issues,  I was using my notebook's built-in sound card which has 
a 48,000 sampling rate at 16 bits.  I found the base noise level is much 
lower with a Soundblaster sampling at 48,000 and 24 bits.  The Soundblaster 
can sample at 96,000 rate, but that doesn't seem to be on option on NaP3's 
set-up.

Getting there slowly...

73, Ron

Ron,

Which Com port is selected when you connect with K3Utility?  You should 
be able to use the same one with NaP3.
If the port is not detected by NaP3, I would suspect a com port driver 
problem rather than NaP3 - it can only report what it receives from the 
computer.  If it does not receive the expected response when polling for 
available ports, NaP3 will assume that the port is either not there or 
is not working properly.
