[Elecraft] XG3 set up

[David Cutter]

Please advise editing frequency memories: 
I've set new freqs, (out of amateur bands) then Apply, but response is "no response to frequency memory query (M)"  I have the unit switched on.

The utility seems to be fixated on using COM5, though I've tried all 3 USB ports on my laptop
XG3 status revision 01.14.RS232 speed 9600 bit/s

What's the trick I'm missing?
