<p dir="ltr">In the logging Window, type SETUP, then press Enter, then press Enter again. This reinitializes all COM ports.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also, check that the WinKey chip is well seated inside the MK2R+. It is also possible that there is a hardware problem with the MK2R+ if there have been nearby lightning strikes or bad RF in the shack?</p>
