Hank,I had a similar problem earlier this week following a Windows update.
The COM port showed up in Device Manager, but the software package I was using
(not the KX3 Utility) couldn't talk to it. Within a day or so, there was
another Windows update, and then everything worked
Hank,
In that case, the next step is to download and install the latest copy
of KX3 Utility.

Re-boot the computer - it seems all the problems are in your computer.
Oh, yes, power cycle the KX3 too, but that will not likely make a
difference.
After rebooting the computer, look in Device Manager to see which COM
port your computer assigned to the KXUSB adapter, and use that COM

Hey folks…
I have an unusual (I think) problem. I have a KX3 that I have used the KX3
utility software with several times without issue. Today when I start the
software there is no COM port to select. In the bottom left hand part of the
KX3 PORT window is says Serial Port is Closed. (I’m

The discussion of the impact of antenna system load on PA dissipation inspired
me to create a display of KPA500 RF output, PA DC input, PA dissipation, and PA
efficiency. The real time display is a lot more convenient than post
processing data logger values in Excel.
Found the problem! As many would guess - it's a solder problem! A tiny
splash of solder in a random location shorted one of the remote control
lines to ground!

Has the support for a 630m xvtr band via other than Test mode made it nearer
the top of the list for the K3s?
Presumably this would have an IF of zero and be able to use the DIGOUT0, LP
setting and the XVTR IN/OUT jacks.

Want to own a Elecraft K3 that has most of the "S" upgrades installed
including the 2 Meter Module?
I am the original owner (non smoker) of serial #5785 purchased in August of
2011 and it includes:
K3 100Watt Upgrade
KAT3 ATU
KTCX03-1 upgraded TCXO Ref Osc.
2.7 KHz
I worked France and Germany during the recent ARRL CW contest from Utah. What
makes it even better is I was indoors at my kitchen table using my KX3 running
10 watts with the counterpoise wire on the kitchen floor. I have also worked
Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean and all over the US on 20
Looks like I need a replacement KAT3A
tuner. Weighing the cost of
repair/replacement, I wonder if anyone has
one that they did not use, are not
needing?
If so, please contact me off list with the
details.

Robert,
Yes, I have 20 years experience with the K2. I have seen many "strange"
problems on my years repairing them, some are user induced.

So far Washington State from Georgia on 20 m running 10 watts from a picnic
table near the top of a dam on a POTA activation. I had the AX1 connected
directly to the KX3 with the bipod and was using the supplied counterpoise.
