Re: [Elecraft] HRD slow accessing K3 frequency controls
Just a thought, try disabling windows defender when you are having this issue. Settings > Update & security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Virus & threat protection settings > Turn Real-Time protection off If nothing changes then it's not defender behind the problem. If things work as they should when you turn it off however, you have found the problem. If so, then on that same page scroll down to exclusions and add the HRD to the exclusions. Then go back up and turn defender back on. Restart and you may well be over the issue. 73, Gary KA1J __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] HRD slow accessing K3 frequency controls
Hi,There are a couple of things that may be important here. 1. Make sure the firmware on the k3 and p3 are at their latest. Having old p3 firmware and new k3 firmware can cause exactly what you have seen.2. Make sure the baud rate on the p3 matches the baud rate on the k3. Set them both the same.73 Tomva2fsq.com Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Re: [Elecraft] HRD slow accessing K3 frequency controls
All are good suggestions and I have tried them all. No difference noted. I run Malwarebytes and trust it. I do good cleanings periodically. The older SSD I tried was used as the primary C drive while testing - no other drives plugged in. No changes there either. What is strange is the fact that nothing is showing up on Task Manager as a hog. Thanks for the ideas - I am tossing the towel. I'll simply run the K3 from the keypad and K-Pod. I was just hoping to clear some clutter from the desk. All my day-to-day stuff is Linux Mint - so no worries.

Re: [Elecraft] HRD slow accessing K3 frequency controls
Also there are applications that will remove scraps of updates, faulty files, excessive Registry entries and such. Sounds like time to do some in-depth computer house cleaning. Also, a virus or malware will consume resources and really bog down a computer basically doing nothing. I use a paid subscription of Malwaybytes although there is a free version. Another application I use on a regular basis is CCLeaner, free version. This gets rid of abandoned files and one can scrub the Register for remnants of applications installation processes and those removed that might remain from applications that have been removed. Of course, there are others applications which do about the same and I'm sure others will have their preferences. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 8/8/2018 7:24 PM, Ken Winterling wrote: Bill, Have you run the Windows Task Manager to see if the cpu, disk and/or memory is being heavily utilized; stuck at 100% or thereabouts on a regular basis?

Re: [Elecraft] HRD slow accessing K3 frequency controls
Can you try the K3 utility and talk directly to the K3 and eliminate HRD from the picture? You could try the Windows and Linux versions and compare operation. Someone else may have to suggest what operation would exercise the interface. I would NOT try a firmware upgrade, try something innocuous that still transmits a lot of data. I don't have a K3, so can't suggest what that could be. Check for hard disk issues. I have seen long pauses with a bad hard disk that worked but had to retry many times before working. You did say you tried another SSD, but was the original disk still plugged in? Linux has much better hard disk diagnostics and you can do a SMART self test. Check your serial cable, maybe try a different one. Swap serial ports and see if that makes a difference. That's all I can think of for now. 73, Mark W7MLG On Wed, Aug 8, 2018 at 9:13 PM, Bill wrote: > Computer has a serial board with two ports. One for the K3 (P3) and one > for the 480.

Re: [Elecraft] HRD slow accessing K3 frequency controls
Bill, Aren't computers fun? If it is a Windows update, there will be a restore point to go back to. Click on the Windows icon in the lower left corner of your screen and type 'restore' and you can find the latest restore points with their dates. Try going back to the latest one. Some other questions: Is the computer using a real serial port, or a serial to USB adaptor for the K3? Is the same serial connection being used for the Kenwood as the K3? Have you added or changed any serial or USB devices lately? Are you running any programs that call the serial port the K3 is connected to? This problem certainly sounds like either a port, driver, or conflict issue. Good luck with your problem, and please let us know what the fix turns out to be! 73, -John NI0K Bill wrote on 8/8/2018 3:34 PM: Suddenly, HRD is no longer working with my K3: Using my K3, I initially click on a favorite - the rig responds immediately.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 Client/Server Software
Not sure what you want to do here, but when running KPA1500 Remote in its client/server configuration you can make control changes and monitor the amp via either the client or the server instance, running on different computers, and they follow each other. I've seen no discrepancies. In my shack, the server instance is connected to the amp via USB and connects to the client instance via Ethernet across the LAN or WAN. For me, the simultaneous operation characteristic is just a curiosity - if I'm in the shack, I use either the physical control panel or the USB-connected instance of KPA1500 Remote. If I'm operating remotely, I use the client instance running on my local computer. So I only see and play with the dual access capability when I'm in the shack (the "radio site") and experimenting with the configuration. 73, /Rick N6XI -- Rick Tavan Truckee, CA On Mon, Aug 6, 2018 at 1:06 PM, Paul Baldock wrote: > At 03:59 PM 8/6/2018, you wrote: > >> The KPA1500 Remote s/w, which should be on our website later this week, >> supports both a local operation via direct connection via USB or ethernet >> to the amp. >> > > Will I be able to control the KPA1500 using 2 different programs > simultaneously, one talking via Ethernet and one via USB, without conflict? > > - Paul KW7Y > > > __ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to rta...@gmail.com > __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
