[Elecraft] COM port not working

[Gary Smith]

Thanks for the replies, some of them most detailed and helpful. For 
an unknown reason the K3 began communicating again with the computer 
and I had made no changes. Restarting the computer 4-5 times and 
re-trying to communicate did not work. Everything else seemed to work 
with the computer and with the radio but nothing changed. 

FWIW, the K3 software would not connect nor would the Logging 
software connect. There were no updates recently and I require my 
approval for any updates (I don't trust Microsoft to always do things 
in my best interest). 

As the Edgeport, that might be a perfect solution but at the moment 
they are $250 and that's too much. Fleabay might bring the right 
price to me but not today. I'm keeping the many helpful suggestions 
in a separate file in case this happens again.

Thank you all for your replies, I appreciate your time & interest 
very much.
