[Elecraft] No Connectivity to my COM Port

[dick at elecraft.com]

Carter:  

COM3 is sometimes used by internal modems, and there may be a conflict
there.  Has Windows been updated recently?  Sometimes COM port assignments
change without warning.

Remove the USB connector from the computer. Then use Windows's Device
Manager (a control panel applet),  and open the list under Ports (COM & LPT)
and see what the current devices are.  Then plug in your KXUSB to the
computer.  A new COM port should appear, that's your KX3's COM port.  

Also, it's possible to use the KX3 Utility's Port tab and try each of the
ports available under the port selection drop-down box.  

There's a KX3 Utility Help page under Troubleshooting titled "Finding the
Right COM port".

Hope this helps to get you going...

Subject: [Elecraft] No Connectivity to my COM Port

For some reason I can no longer connect my KX3 to my computer. I have tried
rebooting. changing the connection cable from my computer to the back of my
KXPA100 amp, and so forth.

Usually I have been using COM3, but I get a message that that com port is in
use by another device. Hmmm... It was working yesterday...

Any help from anybody, please? I'm stumped.

My phone number is (540) 250-8184.
My email address is carterwc128 at gmail.com

I hope someone will help me.

73,
Carter
