HRD creates quite some RS232 tfc. You see this when spinning the VFO knob and watching how fast the HRD screen is following. So I guess that RS232 speed could be an issue. K3 default is 4800bps. I'm using 38400bps and do not have any keying problems. 73, Markus HB9BRJ -- View this message in con

Hi Nick, I still can't duplicate this. Please describe exactly how both the K3 and HRD are set up. In particular: Do you have a sub receiver, or at least have the aux DSP module installed? K3 MCU rev 3.41 allows applications to query the revision number of the aux DSP even if the KRX3 itsel
