[WT-support] Elecraft K2 erratic QRG dispoay

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

It seems no one has ever reported a problem like this using a K2 with
Win-Test.

Are you using a USB-to-Serial adapter based on the Prolific chipset?  Those
adapters have been nothing but trouble for many users.  They may work OK
with some software, but not with Win-Test.  Try another USB-to-Serial
adapter such as one with an FTDI chipset, to see if you still have the same
issue.

With some USB-to-Serial adapters, you may have to set DTR or RTS to "Always
ON" to get them to work.

If you are using a real serial port, not a USB-to-Serial adapter, make sure
that in Win-Test Interface Configuration, the radio type is set to K2
Elecraft, "Don't poll" is *not*  checked, polling rate is set to "Auto".
 Press the "Configure" button next to the port designated as Radio 1, then
press the "Elecraft K2 default settings" button to reset all the COM port
parameters to the proper defaults (4800,N,8,2 NO handshaking).

73,
