"You said that you had an Elecraft null modem cable. I could only find part number E970297 in the Elecraft manual, which is a straight-through RJ45 to DB9 RS232 adapter. You would still need a null modem adapter if using that cable."

No, I said:

" I purchased a m/m null modem cable and used the Elecraft supplied pig tail (RJ45 to db9f)."

Chuck (K0RF) and I have gone over the settings.  He did send me a working configuration "bin" file.  Made no difference.

At this point, I suspect the RS-232 (com2) on the RRC is bad.

As I don't have a (or access to) second K3 and Elecraft is no longer selling k3 mini  , I have no way to test the control box.

My next step is to connect the RCC "radio" box to the k3 and see if at least the control box will connect on my lan.  I should be able to get RX audio and control via software.

I'm off to my "remote" station for the CQWW RTTY test.  I will attack this again next week.

Mitch, thanks for your help.  At least I know I didn't make any simple mistakes in my setup.

Neal, K4EA

Probably why I can't find the problem.  Yes both are set to 38400.

It appears the connection is active but my k3 is not seeing the connection.

Yes.  Using "real" serial cable (null modem). At first I made my own cable from the RJ45 to the RCC.  I was confidant that it was done correctly but when it didn't work, I purchased a m/m null modem cable and used the Elecraft supplied pig tail (RJ45 to db9f).

I'm trying to connect my k3s to control a k3 located at K0RF.  I have eliminated cable, network, firewall, etc. issues. Yet I'm an unable to connect to any of his k3 radios.  Several others are able to connect and control his radios.  However, they all have k3's and not k3s's.  I would think if that is the issue, I would still see the control box connecting to the radio box but it is not.

Any help would be appreciated.
