PX3 interfering with rig control to KX3?

[Bill Frantz]

I was using my KX3 to operate QRP during the California QSO
party. I had my logging program (RUMlogNG on a Mac) connected
through the PX3 to the KX3 using an Elecraft USB <--> RS232
interface cable.

I noticed the computer was not getting the band and frequency
information from the KX3. When I unplugged the PX3 from the KX3
and connected the computer directly to the KX3, the computer got
the frequency/band information correctly, so the PX3 was
involved in the problem. I spent the rest of the contest
swapping the plugs in the KX3. :-(

The computer <--> PX4 <--> KX3 combination has worked in the
past. Is there something flakey in the PX3, of have I set some
configuration parameter badly? Or? Does anyone have any ideas?

Bill, I use exactly the same setup, and I just verified mine is working,
even after "High Sierra" upgrade. 

I had that problem when I first set it up and the problem was in the
Serial speed in RumlogNG  <TX1> in my case. 

My speed in rumlog was differtent than the speed on the PX3.  Since it
goes there first before the KX3, The PX3 will not pass the bad baud rate
date to the KX2, I set all of my speeds to 38,400, RumlogNG, the PX3 and
the KX3..

hope this fixes your problem also..
