[SEDXC] Comm Port Problems

[Jack Nelson]

Good morning. I have been using N3FJP logging software in the stand along 
mode. Now I'm using it with my K3. When the K3 was turned on, Comm7 was 
selected by the pc. I made sure the baud rate, data bits, parity and stop 
bits matched with the software, all was fine. However, the next time the K3 
was turned on, I got messages saying the comm port couldn't be found. When I 
checked the pc and the software, everything matched exactly. I finally to 
things to work again by manually selecting a different comm port and making 
sure the pc and software matched. It work....until the next time I turned 
the K3 off and on again. Same problem, I had to manually select another comm 
port.

Note: While I was trying this with N3FJP, I also tried it with HRD. Same 
results, both software packages would either work or not work, and manually 
changing comm ports usually resolved the problem.

>From the above, I'm assuming it's not a software issue, and it happened to 
both. That leaves the laptop. It's a one year old Winbook TL-35. I've 
checked for updates but so far no luck.

Any ideas?
