Mark, Are you using the USB interface on the K3S, or a USB to serial adapter to connect to the K3? If that is the case, did the assigned COM port get changed with the Windows 10 Update? Some have reported it has happened to them. To check the COM port that is assigned, open Device Manager

Can you communicate with the K3 using a simple terminal server? E.g., send “FA;” and see if you get the VFO A frequency in response. That would demonstrate that the port and driver are working. Wayne http://www.elecraft.com > On May 30, 2018, at 4:48 PM, Mark Wheeler wrote: > > Wayne
