[Elecraft] Mac utility with K3S Puts K3S in TX mode!

[Bill Conkling]

I have been using my K3S with Win 7 so far and decided to give the Mac a chance to play.

Downloaded the latest utility for the Mac (Latest OSX, Macbook Pro I7 w/16gigs) and convinced the Mac that I really did want to open this file.  I selected the USB com port and my radio immediately went into TX mode and would not stop.  I shut down the radio.  Stated K3S again and it was still in TX.  I unplugged the USB, radio still in transmit. Powered off rdio, power on again, still in TX.

Now I connected the rdio to my Win 7 machine, and all is well again.

Now, plug USB back into the Mac, re-read paragraph two above.

I am a new user to the Mac and don’t know a lot about the comport details so this is probably something silly, but I need some assistance.  Help!

Part 2)

Just to sav e time, I hooked up the K3 to Mac with KUSB cable, and sure enough, it also goes to TX when connected to the Mac.  So it;s not the radio, must be a setting in the computer, a hiccup in the utility.



FWIW:  I have moved the modified KBPF3 and filters from my old K3 to the K3s yesterday and that is working just fine.
