[Elecraft] Connecting K3S to PC

[Ken Bandy, KJ9B]

New guy here.  I'm the same guy that had the problem with the KSYN3A board
not checking out in my new build.  After an email from Gary, AB7MY, at
Elecraft, I removed and reinstalled the board, and it magically worked OK!

 

Anyway, I got to the part in the checkout of the build where I am supposed
to connect the radio to my PC to calibrate the Transmitter Gain.  After
installing theK3 Utility program, I plugged the USB cable in between my PC
and the radio.  The driver loaded OK, and made the radio COM 6.  When I
start the K3 utility, it finds COM 6, and starts attempting to communicate
with the radio (whether it's turned on or not).  The program is cycling
through baud rates, but cannot find the radio.  What do I need to do?  I
have rebooted the PC a couple of times and unplugged and replugged the USB
cable.

 

Thanks!
