[Elecraft] KRC2 rs232 to cpu not working

[Gordon LaPoint]

Jack, and others that have sent advice

     I have the latest manual from the Elecraft website.  I have only 
followed the manual as far as testing the unit from the buttons on the 
unit, which works fine, and using the rs232 to computer using the latest 
Elecraft software to try to check/set the band map.  That I have not got 
working yet.  The software never finds the KRC2 on the serial port.  I 
tried two computers, one using win7 the other using win10.  Both 
computers have pciE serial cards, NOT usb to serial.   Both computers 
talk to my K3 and KPA500 just fine.
I will try to work on it again this weekend and see what else I can come 
up with.
     I have double and triple checked the jumpers for proper setup for 
rs232 setup, tried changing the baud rate, using all three. the KRC2 
software can not see the unit.  I can check the serial lines with a 
scope to see if the signals are geting to the pic chip, but that will 
have to wait until the weekend.
   Thanks for the help,

I downloaded the software from Elecraft, using Windows 7 or 10 and real serial ports (not usb-serial).  What am I doing wrong? or is the unit bad?  I have not hooked  up the auxbuss to the K3 yet, wanted to make sure the bandmap and serial port work first.
