OK Don, good idea. I pulled the cable from rotor (COM1) and stuck it on
the K3 ... thus straight to the RS232 port, DB9 on the back of the PC ..
works fine and I'll be able to make the EME sked!

Now to try and find out why the K3 would not see, or be seen by, the
USB/COM port as it has for 6 months.

Was quite a shock.

The XV432 transverter works quite famously in JT65 mode for long periods
of time on EME skeds when the QSO doesn't go in ten minutes. Have had it
up to an hour and the xv432 is still solid.

The watt meter tells me what the output it. The LED's, well, still goofy
and generally just eye-wash for accuracy measured over time.
