Re: [Elecraft] Computer interface problem with KX3/KXPA100
If you're getting the big yellow bang by the device in "device mangler", that points more to a failure in the driver for the USB device in the machine, or a problem with the device itself inside the box. The plug could be marginal after heavy use, or the driver may be corrupt, or the USB hub could have a problem of some kind, etc. What I'd do to troubleshoot at that point is try the setup on a different computer, or on a different USB port on the machine that you know is separate physically from the troublesome one. Just trying a different computer with known-good hardware in it would probably be the easiest next step to take. 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Computer-interface-problem-with-KX3-KXPA100-tp7617431p7617469.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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
Re: [Elecraft] Computer interface problem with KX3/KXPA100
Be sure the baud rate is set at 38400 The KX3 can connect at lower rates, but the KXPA is looking for 38400. Are you turning on amp via KX3 or the switch on the amp. Should be turning on via KX3 -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Computer-interface-problem-with-KX3-KXPA100-tp7617431p7617436.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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
Re: [Elecraft] Computer interface problem with KX3/KXPA100
Further info... We have upgraded the KX3 to the latest revision and checked the KXPA100 which is current to the latest software. The computer is connected to the PC port on the KXPA100. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Computer-interface-problem-with-KX3-KXPA100-tp7617431p7617433.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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
Re: [Elecraft] Computer interface problem with KX3/KXPA100
Make certain that the pug is fully inserted into the ACC1 jack on the KX3 and the RS-232 jack on the KXPA100. Also that the RJ-45 plug is fully latched into the Control jack.
