[Elecraft] New K4 and Log4OMV2

[K5WA]

Bill,

 

I don't know what Log4OMV2 is but from your description, you don't say how
you set the PC1 and PC2 COM port settings (baud, parity, etc) in your K4
other than "The K4 USB B cable shows COM Port 5 and 6".  When you say "Radio
2 (K4) settings are Elecraft K3", that doesn't make sense unless you are
talking about a Log4OMV2 setting and it doesn't have a K4 setting.

 

Why don't you first try using the "real" COM port on the K4 with the same
DB9 you had plugged into the K3.  That should work fine and then you can
check the PC1 (COM5) and PC2 (COM6) settings in the K4 to make sure you have
those correct.

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,

Bill - K0KO
