PX3 text decode issues.

N0SA
I was just playing around with my new PX3 and testing it in the TEXT decode mode for PSK31.
I also had a computer connected via KX3 TERMINAL. KX3 TERMINAL was set for PSK31 decode.
I tuned in a few PSK31 stations and I got three different texts.
The display on the KX3 decoded more than the displayed text on the PX3 but they were from the same station.
 The displayed text on the TERMINAL program was totally different, seeming to be from another QSO.
 
The KX3 displays much more decoded text than the PX3. It is as if the KX3 does a better job of decoding.
I thought they were supposed to show the exact same thing with the PX3 just showing what the KX3 actually decoded.
The TERMINAL program was something completely different. It did not match the KX3 at all.
I looked over the manual and I have the KX3 set for PSK-D and TEXT is on but I must be missing something here.
Help please.

You can't use the terminal program and the PX3 at the same time.  If you
turn off the terminal program then the PX3 ahould display the same as
the KX3.

PSK D encodes and decodes in the KX3,  PSK  A uses sound card/PC for decode.
