[Elecraft] RS232 Connection on K2 Lost

[Ariel Jacala]

Don,

 

That seems to have done the trick - I increased my sidetone volume slightly and now the computer control programs are working;  Thanks for the prompt reply.

Ariel,

Check to see if your K2 has sidetone - if it does not, the answer is 
easy, your sidetone source is incorrect.
In case this is the problem, the solution is to enter the menu for ST L 
and edit the parameter (hold EDIT), then tap DISPLAY until you hear 
sidetone - the display should flash U4-8 briefly.
After that, check to see if you have communications with the PC.

If this is not the situation, ask again clarifying that it did not work, 
and I can lead you through some detailed troubleshooting to determine if 
your RS-232 communications is working or not.  Tell me whether you are 
working with a KIO2 or with a KPA100.

73,

My K2remote program appears to see the test signal from the K2 using the secondary menu.  HyperTerminal can also see the test signal from the K2 but that is about it.  Has anybody run into this problem before? Appreciate any help any one can offer.  None of my K2 interface programs work anymore.
