OK Joe. Sorry none of that worked out. When you buy Elecraft, you also buy excellent customer support. I'd suggest you contact supp...@elecraft.com.
Given these symptoms, it's possible that the digital part of the KIO3 failed. This happens even in the best-designed systems. Or they may have troubleshooting advice for you. Don't give up. All problems can be overcome. Call or email Elecraft, and they'll help you get it figgered out. 73, matt zilmer, W6NIA On Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:27:57 -0400, you wrote: >Hi, Matt, I'm not using a USB hub, my system used to work with a >straight cable from a com port to the K3 or with the Elecraft/Prolific >USB to rs-232 cable but no go, no matter which of four port I have.
