Re: [Elecraft] K3 rig control with RS-232 does not work with 'cold' radio

Please contact customer support for a replacement KIO3 module, and return the old one if you don't mind. 73, Wayne N6KR LB3SA wrote: > > I have a K3 with all modules except transverter interface.

I suppose you have tried with a different serial port? It might be that which has the warm-up problem. - Julian, G4ILO.
