I am (indeed I can run them both at the same time using a virtual serial
port) however I'm trying to help someone else to get even one of them
working. A baud mismatch would certainly cause the problem being
experienced, but without being able to check with my own eyes, one has to
assume at this point that basics like that have been checked.
One point that has been brought to my attention is that Fldigi can lock the
serial port after a failed connection attempt, which may thwart any further
attempts until after a restart. I also suspect that if a program sends data
to the K3 at the wrong speed, it receives garbage and may go into a huff and
refuse to talk. So switching the K3 off and on may also be a good move when
trying to resolve serial communications problems.
