K3 upgrade with USB and p3 using cblp3y cable.

[KH7T]

How do I get my Frequency display back while using the usb cable to the
computer.
The P3 utility seems to be working.  I seem to have the latest firmware
and utilities.

All I can find is the the frequency display on P3 works with rs232. It was.

I cannot get it with the CB3Y.

I checked the switch on the KIO3B board.  It is in the right position.

If it is documented, where?

Check the K3S manual on cabling the P3 with the "Y" cable. I don't have the manual handy but it is quite easy. USB cable to K3S and then the Y cable connects to both P3 sockets and the RJ45 on back of K3S. Set K3S RS232 to USB.

Hi John,
Make sure the RJ45 is plugged all the way in.  You should hear a definite click when it is seated properly.

Bingo!  The USB plug on the K3 was not fully clicked in place. Thanks to
offline suggestions, I checked yet again and found that although I
thought I heard a click when I first plugged it in, it REALLY clicked
when I got serious about it.  P3 is now showing the K3 frequency again.
The instructions even say to be sure the plug is fully seated.

This is proof that 50 years experience in trouble shooting does not
prevent embarrassment.

Thank you all,
John KH7T
