[Elecraft] New K4 and Log4OMV2

[Bill Ham]

I haven’t been able to get my K4 to work with Log4OMV2 (v.2.20.0.0)  I had a K3 before and all worked together.

In addition to the K4, I have a Flex 6500, both setup with Omnirig, Radio 1 (Flex) settings are Smart SDR, Com12, 38400, 8, None, 2, high, high, 500, 4000.  

Radio 2 (K4) settings are Elecraft K3, Com5, 38400, 8, None, 2, high, high, 500, 4000.  All com ports settings match with Windows.  Log4OMV2  does not see the K4, but works with Flex. The K4 USB B cable shows Com Port 5 and 6. I have tried both ports in Omni rig.

In Log4OMV2 Settings/Program Configurations/Hardware config/Hardware Configuration/CAT Interface/Settings, I have Omnirig for the CAT Engine.

I use PstRotatorAZ with GHE Wireless Base to control my antenna switch.  In PstRotatorAZ/Communications/GHE Setup and Omnirig sees both radios, reads the frequency and works with the K4 on COM5 or COM6.

I tried using hamlib on Log4OMv2 (after stopping omnrig) but I couldn’t select any of the hamlib parameters for the rig, port, etc.

I’ve run out of ideas.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tnx & 73,
