[Elecraft] HRD - K3 band switching issue

2012-02-20 Thread ai6ii
I have always had a problem with the K3/HRD Cluster interface regarding band switching. If I select a DX spot for a different band, the K3 'clicks' and momentarily show the new band/frequency on the VFO, but then immediately returns to where it was. If I am already on the band there is no problem.

If you are talking about rig control you have to run HRD. When you first run it you will get a connection screen. Set up your COM port there and connect. Then in DM780 for PTT you probably want to click connect through HRD. When the Radio window is open in DM780 click connect. 73 Greg AB7R On
