K3/P3 question

n8ewy
It doesn't seem like the VFO center freq on the K3 is making it's way over to my P3.  At the top, in the center, it always read 0.00 for a freq.  The RS232 to RS232 cable is attached firmly and I assume it's communicating at whatever BAUD the K3 assigns.  Yet, there is NO center freq. listed on the top center of the P3.

Any suggestions?????

It sounds like there must be something wrong with the RS-232
communications between the P3 and the K3.

The K3's serial port is supposed to be set to 38400 baud.  It it gets
set to something else the P3 is supposed to sense that and change it
back to 38400.  I would triple-check the cable.  It should just work.

Another possibility is that the "MENU:Xcvr Sel" on the P3 got set to
something other than "K3".
