I have no concept of your control system nor can I identify
"remote" site and "control" site. Further, I don't know
if you have a K3 with RS-232 interface, an "upgraded" K3 with
KIO3B (USB) interface, or a K3s since you have not made that
clear.
However, if the K3 Utility sows that no ports are available,
it can be one of several things: 1) with RS-232 the cables
are disconnected, 2) the serial port driver (USB or RS-232)
is not installed of functioning, 3) the K3/K3S KIO3/KIO3B
board has suffered a failure, 4) you are trying to access the
radio via the RRC system and its serial drivers are bad of
not installed, 5) your RRC network connection has failed (or
is being blocked by a firewall).
Since you're running a remote system, you're on your own!
Strip it down to the base "one radio, one computer at the
same location" and start from there.

Joe, I tried that and it didn't help. ?Let me add some background. ?I have been running this exact set-up for several years on a remote basis. ?Using the RRC system with my K3 at the remote site and the K3 mini at the control site. ?I've never had a problem and have not changed any settings. ?I can control the KPA-500 and KAT- 500 fine, even right now. ?The band change functions work and I can even key the transmitter from the control site. ?But, when I use the K3 utility at the remote site to check the status, it shows that no ports are open, which is certainly consistent with what Commander is showing. ?So obviously something has happened to the link between the PC and radio. ?Any thoughts? ?And as I said, I haven't changed any cables in a long time (that would be too easy of a solution!).
