I am consistently getting the error message upon start-up of Microbit.

I saw a solution in another posting but the solution it never worked for me either.

Everything seems to works okay - just a harrassment! ;-)

Hi Mitch and thanks for the info.

Just got off the phone with Brandon at Elecraft.

Basically what it was in my case, the rs232 got changed in the remotes K3 to some other baud rate then the 38400 I have everything assigned as. So in went into the microbit manager, under Serial settings, and cycled thru the Com2 baud-rate settings to find out which one the radio got changed to. In my case it was 19200. Then he was able to connect with the radio and change it back to 38400 in both the radio and the Com2 baud-rate.

While there are a number of things that could have changed that, including other software, it's all speculation to me! It's working and I'm happy! ;-)

Hi Mitch

The K3 Mini is just displaying 1.822.37, which is what it usually shows when first turned on in the TERM window. When it connected (was connecting) with the K3  at the remote then the TERM would disappear and would display it's freq.

CAT cables are all connected and Baud Rates the same as 38400. Noe are set to use USB.

My device Mgr at the control site after boot up shows:

RRC1258 COM0 (COM7)
RRC1258 COM1 (COM4)
RRC1258 COM2 (COM5)
RRC1258 COMExtra (COM6)

at the Remote site:

RRC1258 COM0 (COM4)
RRC1258 COM1 (COM1)
RRC1258 COM2 (COM5)
RRC1258 COMExtra (COM3)

At the control site I use (Com4) for DXLab and N1mm+ and they worked fine.

Tnx Mitch 73 Dwight NS9I

Rebooted it at the control location, no results.

Also tried at terminal program and the command PS0 at the remote site to shut the K3 down. No results. I assume I'm addressing the right port of Com5. The K3 serial is connected to the RRC Com2 which turns up in Device Driver as Com5. No shut off! ;-)

tnx 73 Dwight NS9I

Hi Palle and thanks for the reply.

I don't have the serial cable from the K3 to the PC and do have it connected to the Remoterig via a Y-cable that also runs to my SPE 1.3k amp.

This has worked this way for some time.

When I go to the remote site via Teamviewer and run Microbit Setup, browse the device, and have the Mini On, Under Status, it shows Connection Status as OK and SIP status as Connected/transferring. It shows basically the same on the Control end.

I hear the Radio at the remote but  the control does nothing.

thank you 73 Dwight NS9I

I am remoteing with the Remote Rig twins, K3 Mini to my K3 at home.

Has been working good till all of a sudden. What happens is when I turn on the Mini, it goes into the Term mode as normal and I can hear stuff from the K3 at home BUT the Mini won't control the K3. The display is stuck on it's boot-up screen and the knobs does nothing, no control. I think the K3 hasn't shut off at home nor can I shut it off with no control from here. I have it hooked to a PC at home and a laptop here. Connecting with Teamviewer works well.

What should I look for?

thank you Dwight NS9I

I found my problem here in the archives  - at radio was plugged into the paddle jack on the K3 instead of the key jack.

I'm finding something not right in the CW keying with this combo. My call NS9I is copied as SI5I or some variation there-of when I send it from N1MM+ or with the paddles connected to the RRC Control.

LF Delay is set to 100 and Key delay is set to 150.

Am using USB to the Laptop as rig control

Am using ComExtra port in MM+ for Winkey for a CW port. Have the Com3 mode in RRC Control Keyer set to MODE-B, Winkeyer.

Somethings not right, any ideas?

thanks 73 Dwight NS9I
