PX3 computer interface to KX3

[Bill Frantz]

I'm sitting in New Hampshire and I find I can't get my computer
to talk to the KX3 when it goes through the PX3 using the
ACC1-PC jack. The computer can talk to the KX3 when plugged in
directly to ACC1 jack on the KX3, and the PX3 can get the
frequency data when plugged into the same jack.

I have the same problem with both wsjt-x and RUMlogNG, so I
don't think the problem is in the computer software. The USB
<--> RS232 seems to be working, so I suspect the PX3.

Does anyone have any suggestions for something to fix to get
both the computer and the PX3 to talk to the KX3? (I'm low on
test equipment here, but I do have a DVM.)

Thanks - Bill AE6JV

Is the *host serial port baud rate* set correctly in the PX3?

Bingo! It had been reset from 38400 to 9600. I have no idea how
or when. Thanks for the clue.

(BTW, did I say that I hate RS232. With all the parameters that
can go wrong, and many strange voltage conventions, it seems to
be an interface designed to cause problems.)

Good news. I run all my Elecraft stuff at 38400.

But it doesn’t the P3 talks to the K3 at 38,400.  Weird things can happen when mixing nauseates. Why ask for trouble.

BTW: My K3S came defaulted to 38,400.

I think the 4800 on the K3 was a carryover from K2 days.
