Radio control
The Radio control settings specify which Elecraft radio (K2 or K3) is in use, and which serial port it is connected to.
- Radio - select Elecraft K2 or Elecraft K3.
- Rev 2.04+ f/w - (K2 only) this should be checked if your K2 has revision 2.04 firmware or later.
- Port - select the COM port the radio is connected to.
- Speed - select the speed (baud rate) of the connection.
- Init RTS / Init DTS - select the initial state of the RS-232 RTS and DTS signals. KComm does not use these signals at all (PTT and CW keying is all done by computer commands) but you might need to change the default settings if you have some odd cabling arrangement that causes your transceiver to go into transmit when KComm is started.
- Debug Window - if selected, a trace window will appear when you connect to the radio, showing the computer commands sent and received. This can be useful for troubleshooting. Note: KComm polls the radio twice per second for TX/RX status and S-meter readings; this polling is disabled by default when the debug window opens to avoid other information scrolling out of view. You must enable polling if you want to transmit while the debug window is showing.
- CW Rev - if selected, CW Rev mode will be used when CW is selected. This option was added for compatibility with CW Skimmer, which requires CW to be received in USB.
