K3/0 lockup
« on: 2026-01-26, 19:12:13 »
I have had a working station using a K3/0 and K3 with RRC boxes for 6 months. While troubleshooting a minor issue, I made a change to the baud rate in the K3 configuration. It locked up the K3/0 and perhaps the K3 (Im not on site so can’t observe).

When turning on the K3/0 a connection is indicated by the beep and TERM … but no additional data is transmitted. No knobs or switches are functional

I suspect I corrupted something in my K3 configuration file. Does this make sense? I suspect that the config file will need to be reloaded. I believe this can only be accomplished on site?

Comments welcome

Dennis,

beep and Term means that no connection from the K3/0 to the K3 is available.

I have a working K3/0 and K3 setup. I haven't posted the K3 sceenshots on

www.qsl.net/hb9bjl/

yet, but I can do it as soon as time permits.

The Baud rate of the control and the radio unit may be changed by remote access, they must be the same.
On my units, the COM0 baudrate is: 38400 / data bits: 8  / stop bits: 1 / parity: 0 - Off / Com0 Program mode 3 char timeout: 2,
only on control unit: use USB Com Port as COM0: No.

The baud rate on the K3 itself cannot be changed remotely, so try all possible baud rate values, submit and apply changes.

If you have downloaded working both configuration files, you can select in the menu
"import settings from file..."

This works also over remote access.
