Computer won't connect with kx3

[AB1SX]

I received my KXPA100 with tuner and hooked it all up.  I use macloggerDX for logging and connection to my kx3.   I plug the computer into the kxpa100 where it shows but the computer does not find the kx3.  I check the serial port and it is the same I was using before.  I downloaded the driver again and still not making a connection.  I then tried connecting directly to the kx3 but still not finding it?

Roger,

That sounds like you might have a bad KXUSB cable.
You may have 2 of them, one which came with the KX3 and another that
came with the KXPA100.
Try both of them on the KX3 alone.  If it works there, then introduce
the KXPA100 to the same cable.
Do not change USB jacks - often the operating system will change the
assigned COM port if you change the USB port that the cable is plugged into.

Check the baudrate.  The KX3 used a lower baud rate.  The KXPA100 connection needs 38400.

Correction Bob,
The KX3 is capable of up to 38400 baud rate.  Check the KX3 RS232 menu
parameter.
Yes, it defaults to 4800, but for firmware downloads, it is
automatically set to 38400.
Set it to whatever your control application is using.

Sorry was not clear. Should have said the KX3 defaulted to 4800 and if you have not reset it after you added the amp you need to reset to 38400.
