[Elecraft] Memory Manager for Linux?

[Matt Zilmer]

 Hi Dick,

I have K3 Memory Editor 1.4.9.29 installed under wine on ubuntu linux
here.  This is ubuntu 12.04LTS running on a standard issue Dell PC
platform.

Running the Editor from a shell:  in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program
Files/Elecraft/Elecraft FrequencyMemoryEditor, with a command line of
./FrequencyMemoryEditor.exe.  The program executes and shows a GUI.

The K3 serial port is the Elecraft USB/Serial adapter for the K3. This
uses a DE9 connector at the K3 end.  On this linux, the device is
enumerated as /dev/ttyUSB0.  I've also made the device accessible
using a symbolic link (ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 COM1), but no joy using
either device or link.

The problem here is a little different from yours, but it's still a
problem.  Even though the GUI loads and allows execution of the Read
All from Xcvr button, the program never receives a valid response (or
at least it's not interpreted that way).  I checked at the four baud
rates used, and the Editor is sending a ';' to determine basic
connectivity.  But it's not getting a good response, no matter which
K3 CONFIG:RS322 bps rate is set up.  Using the Elecraft USB/Serial
adapter, I can see the K3 responding via the LEDs inside the housing,
and confirmed a ';' going to the K3 using a null modem cable.

So anyway, that's me blowing off steam and it doesn't address the
problem you have.  Sorry for the diversion.

I'd suggest you try executing the Editor not from the desktop icon,
but from the command line as described above.  This is in case there
is some icon / shortcut parameter that doesn't allow the program to
start.  You can fix the icon Properties later.  If the program runs
(as above) maybe we can compare notes and get something going for you.
Unless there are a vast number of linux users, we might want to do
this off-list, if you're interested at all.

73,
