PX3 decode missing characters that are displayed on the KX3

When I use the PX3 to decode text, I see correct copy on the KX3 display but not all of the characters show up on the PX3. I would guess about 10%are lost.

Any ideas for how to correct this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Likewise, I've seen the same behavior as well.

Re: PX3 decode missing characters that are displayed on the KX3

What happens if you compare the PX3 copy with the KX3 Utility copy?

Re: PX3 decode missing characters that are displayed on the KX3

Fred,

That is a good question. Until you asked it, I didn’t notice that if the KX3 Utility is *NOT* running, the PX3 copies fine. If the KX3 Utility is running both the KX3 Utility terminal and the PX3 have bad copy. The copied text in the KX3 Utility terminal and the PX3 don’t match either.

I also noticed that if keep the KX3 Utility running and click off of the terminal tab (say the port tab), the copy between the KX3 and the PX3 match again. As soon as I click on the terminal tab in the KX3 Utility, the PX3 copy stops working again.

My plan was to send text using the KX3 Utility terminal and copy text on the PX3. Should this work with the PX3?

I’m running KX3 Utility version 1.14.4.11on OSX 10.10.1. The KX3 and PX3 have the latest production firmware.

Thanks,

phil

Re: PX3 decode missing characters that are displayed on the KX3

It looks more like a interface bandwidth issue than a PX3 issue. Each connection to the KX3 ports must be serviced separately.

Re: PX3 decode missing characters that are displayed on the KX3

In reply to this post by pirey4

I suspect that the PX3 and KX3 Utility are both using the "TB;" command to poll the KX3 for incoming text. Since the KX3 clears the buffer after responding to a TB; command, this would cause bad copy on both the PX3 and KX3 Utility. Text displayed in the Utility would be missing on the PX3 and the text displayed on the PX3 would be missing in the Utility. This is just a guess. I may be dead wrong.

Re: PX3 decode missing characters that are displayed on the KX3

That's correct. You can copy decoded text using KX3 Utility or on the
PX3 screen, but not both at the same time.

Re: PX3 decode missing characters that are displayed on the KX3

Thanks for the info about not running the PX3 decode at the same time as the KX3 Utility terminal. Since I’m using the KX3 Utility terminal for text entry, I’ll use it for decode as well and turn off the text decode on the PX3.
