Hi Gang
I just came back from the local electronics superstore with a USB to 2 port
serial converter made by SIIG. My aim was to get rid of the usb to serial
converter pigtails cluttering up the place. The new usb-to-serial converter
won't work with the K2. It works fine with my FT-990. And I have tried
switching the ports (IE port1 to 990, port 2 to K2 and vice versa). During
all tests the FT-990 communicates fine with the computer but the K2 does
not. The K2 seems to work fine when plugged back into the USB-to-serial
pigtail from a different manufacturer. There may not be a solution to this,
but
I thought I'd give the brain-trust here a crack before I box the thing up
and
take it back to the electronics superstore...that is a 3 hour round trip.
Any ideas?? Fred N9TA K2# 4502
PS: I have tried switching com port numbers in windows XP.
I have Windows XP Media Center Edition.
And I am using Logic 7.0 for logging and Ham Radio Deluxe for fun.
Neither Logic or HRD will communicate with the K2 through the new
USB to Serial gizmo.
The new usb to serial gizmo claims to work with durn near anything
and
lists "Built in 16550 UART with 16 byte FIFO buffers"...whatever in
the
heck all that might mean.
