Louis,

Do you have the menu RS-232 set to USB?  It should be to use the USB 
connection - see page 63 of the K3S manual.

HF-TRN and TRN refer only to the band encoding - see page 21 of the K3S 
manual.

The computer may recognize the K3 USB to serial converter with power off 
the K3, but there is not much that can be done unless the K3S is powered.

73,
Don W3FPR

Everything works but   I have a strange working K103B. The only way it will connect to the K3 utility page is to connect my old KUSB cable to the cable that came with the K103B, (con3) and connecting to the RS232/P3 port. The new USB cable (con4) will not work no matter what I do. The configure menus shows that the K103B is being recognized.  I set it to NOR,  but I see that it can be set to HF-TRN or TRN also.  I hope that I have it set correctly. I checked my computer and it is listing port 4 as working correctly and is recognizing the new USB cable. I have also found that to connect to the K3 utility the K3 must be powered up.  The manual stated that it should connect to the utility regardless if it is powered up or off.  Any advise on this would be appreciated.
